3412 17th St, San Francisco, CA 94110

This 24-unit multi-family residential building, located at 3412 17th Street in Mission Dolores, has a history dating back to 1907 and is currently owned by 594 Valencia LLC. The property has undergone several significant renovations, with the most recent major work being a $75,500 fire alarm system upgrade approved in December 2024 to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements. The building suffered minor fire damage in June 2019, which required repairs to framing and sheetrock, including work on the back stairs, though these repairs were completed promptly.

The ground floor restaurant space has seen substantial improvements over the years, including a 2018 renovation valued at $120,000 to update restrooms, kitchen equipment, and dining areas, with subsequent related work in 2019-2020 for kitchen enlargements and ADA compliance. The building has experienced multiple maintenance and compliance challenges, including several fire safety violations between 2021-2024 related to shared spaces, alarm systems, and permit requirements. There was a notable period of tenant concern in 2019 regarding heat issues and a fire-damaged stairway cavity. A series of building violations from 2016 required attention to water damage, ceiling repair, plumbing issues, and the installation of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though these were all abated by June 2016.

The property is classified as having completed its mandatory soft-story seismic improvements under Tier 4 requirements, and its most recent fire safety inspections show both open and resolved violations, including a December 2023 sleeping area requirement violation and a March 2023 permit-related violation that was subsequently abated. The building's maintenance record includes regular updates to systems and infrastructure, such as a new steam boiler installation in 2009, drainage pipe replacement in 2016, and various plumbing and electrical improvements. Recent complaints have centered around building common areas, with a 2023 active complaint still under investigation as of late 2024. The property has historically maintained compliance with its ABC Type 41 liquor license requirements, though there have been occasional issues with vacant storefronts on the ground floor that required resolution through code enforcement channels.
