3518 16th St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The 6-unit, 3-story apartment building at 3518 16th Street, owned by the Chen Family Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant improvements over recent years, with the most recent being a complete re-roofing project in July 2024 costing $15,000. In 2023, the building received a comprehensive fire safety upgrade including a new fire alarm system with multiple components to meet current safety codes.

The property has a documented history of maintenance and compliance actions, including previous re-roofing work in 2005, deck and stair replacements in 2001, and vinyl siding application in 2002. The building experienced a series of fire safety and lead-related violations in 2002, all of which were resolved by August 2002, and there were additional maintenance issues noted in 2005 and 2015 regarding weatherproofing and paint conditions. A notable concern emerged in 2017 with a complaint about mold throughout one unit.

More recent history shows multiple 311 calls from January 2025 regarding waste and debris issues near the property, though these are external to the building itself. The only recorded fire incident was classified as a "400 Hazardous condition, other" with no civilian injuries noted. The building has undergone regular inspections by Housing Inspection Services, with the most recent routine inspection in 2015 showing no violations found.
