3208-3214 16th St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The property at 3208-3214 16th Street is a three-story mixed-use building constructed in 1935, containing four residential units and ground-floor retail space, currently owned by Thiabatsr & Kanika Lilittha. The building has undergone several significant improvements over its history, with the most recent major work being a $20,000 reroofing project completed in 2022. The ground-floor retail space has historically housed a full-service restaurant, which underwent substantial accessibility improvements in 2011 including the addition of a unisex handicap restroom and related plumbing and electrical work totaling approximately $40,000.

This restaurant required multiple modifications to meet code requirements, including the installation of a grease trap and proper waste connections in 2011, and additional electrical work for signage. The building's history includes several routine safety inspections and maintenance issues that have been resolved, including a 2003 incident involving handrail repairs and gas meter requirements that were abated within two months. A 2020 routine inspection of the common areas found no significant issues. More recently, between December 2024 and January 2025, there have been multiple reports of street cleaning issues near the property, including instances of garbage, debris, and graffiti, though these exterior maintenance matters were generally addressed promptly.

The building has also experienced three false fire alarms and some Shared Spaces-related complaints in 2021-2022, but these incidents did not involve civilian injuries and were resolved. The property is currently operating as a non-conforming full-service restaurant with Type 41 ABC license, with no recent expansion or enlargement beyond its originally permitted scope. While there have been some maintenance and compliance issues over the years, the property has generally been maintained and upgraded to meet current standards, with most violations being promptly addressed and resolved. The building's ownership has demonstrated a pattern of regular maintenance, as evidenced by the recurring roof work performed approximately every decade, with the most recent being the 2022 $20,000 reroofing project.
