3676-3678 17th St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 3676-3678 17th Street in Mission Dolores is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900. The building is currently undergoing significant renovation and restructuring, with several major permitted projects in progress or recently completed. Most notably, a comprehensive renovation project initiated in December 2022 (PA#202212067705) involves partially excavating the lower level to create a new principal suite and laundry facilities, renovating the second and third-floor living spaces, and making substantial exterior improvements including new windows, a balcony, and spiral stair installation.

Recent permits from 2024 indicate ongoing work to replace siding, address dry rot issues, and modify deck structures, along with the installation of new entrance doors, window trim, and facade paneling. The electrical and plumbing systems are also being upgraded, with new 200-amp panels being installed and heating/cooling units being serviced. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural integrity, with multiple permits addressing dry rot repairs and siding replacement, though some past issues such as a water leak (reported in 2019) and missing side sewer vent cover (2015) suggest periodic infrastructure maintenance needs.

The property has undergone two routine housing inspections (2005 and 2010) with no active violations noted. Recent complaints mainly involve public space issues (such as graffiti on the sidewalk and parking concerns), which were addressed through regular city services. The current renovation work appears to focus on both modernization and historic preservation, with permits detailing careful attention to maintaining existing architectural features while upgrading building systems and living spaces.
