3471-3475 17th St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 3471-3475 17th Street, owned by the 2004 Malek-zadeh Family Trust, was constructed in 1908 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past two decades. Most notably, there was a substantial cluster of violations in July 2004 that included problems with the central alarm system, damaged ceilings, handrails, stairs, security features, and combustible storage concerns, though all were abated by August 2004.

The building has undergone multiple heating system upgrades, with a new heating system installed in 2015 and furnace replacement in 2017, following complaints about inadequate heat in March 2015. More recent issues include a 2020 complaint about an illegal unit in the backyard with potential fire hazards, and multiple plumbing and renovation works in 2016 that required repairs due to tenant damage.

The property has seen ongoing maintenance and safety concerns, including a 2015 complaint documenting various interior problems such as non-functioning appliances, water damage, compromised security, and damaged flooring. Recent maintenance work includes several building permits for repairs and improvements, such as drywall replacement and heating system installations. The building's exterior and surrounding area has experienced issues with debris and graffiti, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls throughout 2023-2024, though these are primarily street-level maintenance concerns rather than building-specific issues.
