3227 16th St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The property at 3227 16th Street is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1987 and currently owned by 3227 16th St LLC. The building has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, most notably a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in early 2024 costing over $23,000 to comply with current fire code requirements. This included upgrading the fire panel, installing new compatible devices, and adding low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas.

The building has a documented history of fire safety system installations, including previous ANSUL fire suppression systems, kitchen equipment upgrades, and various routine fire safety inspections. In the early 2000s, the building experienced multiple fire safety violations including issues with fire escape ladders, fire proofing materials, and smoke enclosure doors, though these were all resolved by March 2003. The most recent violation on record was related to illegal short-term rentals, which was addressed when the host switched to 30-day minimum stays.

The property has had regular routine housing inspections in 2002, 2010, and 2016, with no active violations reported. Recent maintenance includes garage wall work in 2017. The building's location has experienced recurring issues with driveway blocking, as evidenced by multiple parking enforcement calls between 2021-2024, though these are external to the building's structural and safety systems. A mechanical equipment noise complaint was filed in March 2022 and referred to the Department of Public Health for investigation.
