3106-3116 16th St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 31-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 3106-3116 16th Street, owned by the Levinson Family Revoc Trust and constructed in 1910, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges in recent years. Most notably, there is an open fire violation from November 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements, and a building-wide fire alarm system upgrade was completed in 2022 that included low frequency sounders in sleeping rooms and new monitoring equipment.

The building has seen substantial fire safety improvements, including sprinkler system installations in 2019 ($35,000 for basement sprinklers) and other fire system upgrades. Accessibility improvements were made in 2022 with a $20,000 project to modify the entry for accessibility compliance, including a new door and ramp. The property has a history of maintenance and security concerns, particularly during 2015-2020, when multiple building violations were issued regarding security features and maintenance issues such as fire escape repairs, garbage receptacle maintenance, and smoke/carbon monoxide detector requirements.

There were also multiple complaints in 2017 regarding an unpermitted motor installation in the lightwell area causing building shake and noise issues. More recent issues include recurring fire alarm system malfunctions (with the most recent complaint in February 2024) and various exterior maintenance needs as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in January 2025 regarding garbage, debris, and graffiti. The building's plumbing systems have received attention over the years, with multiple permits issued for various upgrades including new water and gas lines for retail space modifications between 2011-2018.
