3350-3358 18th St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 9-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 3350-3358 18th Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Banayat Family LLC, has undergone several significant changes and improvements since its construction in 1962. Most recently, in 2022, the property converted a former grocery/retail space into a restaurant with associated infrastructure improvements, including accessible bathrooms and new electrical work, at a cost of approximately $90,000. The building successfully completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit program in 2020, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

Historical records show systematic maintenance and improvements, including a fire alarm system upgrade in 2011, reroofing work in 2006, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades in recent years. The building has experienced recurring issues with its fire alarm system, with multiple complaints and incidents documented between 2015 and 2023, typically related to false alarms or system malfunctions, though most were promptly addressed and corrected. Recent violations from September 2023 highlighted several fire safety compliance issues in common areas, including problems with fire extinguishers, a fire escape ladder, and required compliance affidavits, though these were abated by October 2023.

Historical tenant complaints from 1999-2002 revealed various maintenance concerns, including security issues, plumbing problems, and instances of pest control problems, which appear to have been resolved. The property has maintained its housing code compliance through regular inspections and required retrofits, including the completion of the soft-story program under tier 4 designation. The most recent building permits and violations suggest ongoing attention to fire safety systems, though periodic issues with alarm functionality continue to be addressed as they arise.
