3484 18th St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 3484 18th Street in the Inner Mission, owned by M Dattani Credit Trust, was constructed in 1909 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2023, achieving compliance with San Francisco Building Code requirements. The building has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues, particularly in the period from 2000-2009, including multiple active violations from October 2000 related to inadequate heating, floor covering, window maintenance, and security features.

Though some of these issues appeared to be resolved through subsequent permits and corrections, the property has maintained a pattern of requiring various repairs and improvements. Recent permits indicate ongoing maintenance, including a 2018 soft-story retrofit (initially estimated at $60,000) and final inspections in 2023, though some earlier permits from 1997-2001 for bathroom legalization, stairs repair, and reroofing show as having expired. The building's infrastructure has been addressed through various plumbing upgrades, including water heater replacement and inspections in 2008.

Multiple 311 calls from 2024-2025 have primarily concerned external issues like graffiti and street cleaning, while fire department responses have been limited to false alarms or minor incidents with no reported injuries. A significant complaint from 2009 regarding water leaks in the entryway ceiling was marked as not active, suggesting it was addressed, while a 2008 heating complaint also shows as resolved. The property has complied with recent safety requirements, as evidenced by the completion of its soft-story retrofit program in 2023.
