3564 17th St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 3-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 3564 17th Street in Mission Dolores, owned by Varela Revocable Trust The, was constructed in 1921. Recent significant improvements include a comprehensive heating system upgrade in 2018, with the installation of new furnace units in all apartments ($36,000), and completion of mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2015 ($45,000).

The building has experienced several notable maintenance and safety incidents throughout its history, including a fire in 1988 affecting apartments #4 and #6, multiple stair repairs in 1998-2002 due to dry rot issues, and various fire safety violations in 2002 that required corrections including fire extinguisher requirements, fire escape maintenance, and combustible storage issues. A recent complaint from May 2018 regarding furnace installation in Unit #3 is still marked as active, and there have been recurring issues with parking violations and sidewalk obstructions near the property, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024.

While the building has undergone several routine inspections (most recently in 2016), past violations related to sanitation and fire safety suggest ongoing challenges with maintenance and compliance, though many historical issues have been addressed. The property has also completed its Tier 3 soft-story program requirements and received the corresponding Certificate of Final Completion (CFC).
