3043 16th St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The five-story, 28-unit multi-family residential building at 3043 16th Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, owned by Mission Housing Development Corporation, has experienced several recent challenges in early 2025, particularly related to street cleanliness and sanitation. During January 2025, there were multiple reports of garbage and debris, including instances of human waste, electronics, and abandoned furniture near the property, with some cases requiring intervention and others being classified as not in scope or having insufficient information.

A notable incident involved the discovery of discarded needles in early January, though this was subsequently resolved. The building, constructed in 1986, has undergone various changes to its original proposal, which included plans for 48 units and parking spaces. The approved modifications reduced the parking requirements and adjusted the housing mix from 17 elderly and 32 standard units to 27 elderly and 22 standard units.

While the property has a recorded history of fire alarm activations (all of which were either false or unintentional), there have been no reported civilian injuries from these incidents. Past planning records show substantial development review, including requests for exceptions to rear yards, bulk, parking requirements, and building height limitations. The building's management has generally responded to municipal cleaning requests, though some cases have been resolved with no work needed or were determined to be not in scope for intervention.
