3223-3227 17th St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 8-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 3223-3227 17th Street in the Inner Mission, built in 1906, is currently facing significant safety and maintenance issues. Most notably, an active health and safety inspection from December 2022 (complaint #202299844) has resulted in multiple outstanding violations, including problems with the central alarm system, fire escape ladder, various security requirements, plumbing and electrical systems, and the need for repairs to water heaters, windows, and emergency egress paths.

This building has a historical pattern of maintenance challenges, as evidenced by past complaints regarding heating problems, roof leaks, and various maintenance issues through the years. While some work has been completed over the decades, including deck repairs in 2007 and an expired reroofing permit from 1994, more recent attempts at seismic retrofitting in 2017 were withdrawn.

The surrounding area has experienced recurring issues with graffiti and sidewalk cleanliness in 2024, though these are external to the building itself. A documented blocked exit issue in 2015 was corrected in 2016, showing some responsiveness to safety concerns, but the current active violations indicate ongoing challenges with building maintenance and safety compliance.
