3255-3257 16th St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The property at 3255-3257 16th Street in Mission Dolores is an 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1959, currently owned by Randon Mckendrick and Zandr. The building underwent significant seismic safety upgrades in 2016, completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit (Tier 3) costing $56,584, along with associated electrical work and confirming existing ADA compliance. Other recent major infrastructure work includes a complete sewer main replacement in the garage area in 2015 and reroofing in 2007 ($15,000).

The building has had several maintenance and compliance issues in the past, including multiple violations in 2002-2006 related to fire safety, water damage, guardrails, and sanitation, all of which were eventually abated by November 2006. More recent complaints include a common areas issue in 2022 and a complaint about plumbing fixtures in 2006, though both were marked as Not Active after resolution. The building has experienced minimal fire-related incidents, with only one alarm system activation recorded in 2021 that was determined to be without merit.

Several 311 calls have been made regarding the property between 2022-2024, primarily concerning external maintenance issues such as illegal parking, garbage, and debris concerns, though these are mostly street-related matters rather than building-specific problems. The most recent complaints from 2024 reflect typical urban neighborhood issues rather than building-specific concerns. The building appears to be in generally stable condition based on recent permit activity and completed safety improvements, though historical records show it has had various maintenance and compliance challenges in the past that have been addressed through appropriate channels.
