3241-3247 16th St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The two-story mixed-use building at 3241-3247 16th Street in Mission Dolores, constructed in 1907, contains three residential units and commercial space, currently owned by the Fred Bothe Separate Property Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent major work being a house trap sewer replacement completed in April 2024. In 2019, substantial upgrades were performed including the installation of new fire sprinklers, addition of conference and break rooms, and comprehensive electrical work including the installation of a new subpanel and various fixtures.

The building has maintained its safety systems, with fire safety equipment being a consistent focus, as evidenced by the 2019 sprinkler work and a backflow prevention device installation in 2011. The property's maintenance record shows attention to basic infrastructure, including a complete reroofing in 2003 and siding replacement in 2016. However, there are some historical concerns regarding accessibility and safety, particularly a pair of complaints filed in September 2019 about blocked entrances and fire escape issues, though these complaints are marked as not active.

The building also experienced multiple unintentional fire alarm activations between 2014 and 2024, all of which resulted in no injuries or actual fires. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to parking issues in the vicinity, with multiple reports between 2022 and 2024, though these are external to the building itself. The property has been home to "Creativity Explored," a recognized Legacy Business, and has undergone various tenant improvements over the years, particularly focusing on both residential and commercial space enhancements while maintaining compliance with safety requirements.
