3178 17th St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 3178 17th Street property, a three-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, was built in 1900 and is currently owned by Susanna R Blackwell 2006 Li. The building has undergone several significant improvements and renovations over the past two decades, with the most recent major work occurring in 2021, including a $96,000 exterior siding project and $10,000 reroofing work. Between 2000-2004, the property experienced substantial structural and seismic upgrades, though some permits expired before completion.

The building underwent substantial plumbing improvements in 2011, including new bar, kitchen, bathroom installations, and a grease interceptor system, along with main sewer line work in 2009. Electrical systems were upgraded in the early 2000s, including a 400A service replacement in 2002. The property has had its share of challenges, most notably a significant complaint in 1998 detailing numerous maintenance and safety issues, though these were abated within the same day, including problems with heat, roof leaks, window functionality, bathroom conditions, electrical systems, pest control, and safety features.

More recent issues primarily involve exterior matters, with multiple 311 calls in early 2025 regarding garbage and debris on the property, including furniture and Christmas trees, as well as two encampment-related calls that were resolved upon inspection. A 2016 fire safety complaint about blocked exits was investigated and found to have no merit, and there have been two recorded fire incidents: one outside equipment fire and a false alarm, neither resulting in civilian injuries. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to roofing and structural elements, with permits indicating ongoing investment in building upkeep and improvements.
