3678 18th St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 3678 18th Street, owned by Peleg Fmly Tr, has undergone significant renovations since 2021, including the addition of an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) and comprehensive updates to multiple units. Between 2021-2023, major improvements included kitchen and bathroom remodels in Units 1, 2, 3, and 4, installation of hydronic radiant heating systems, and electrical upgrades including new subpanels. A new fire sprinkler system was added in 2022, with associated monitoring equipment installed in September 2022.

Recent plumbing work completed in October 2023 included installation of a new 30-ft water main service. The building has experienced several concerning issues over its history, particularly in recent years. There were multiple instances of unauthorized construction work in July 2021, leading to building violations, and several complaints about blocked exits, including a violation issued in March 2022.

A recent complaint from January 2024 reported possible bed bug infestation, and there have been recurring issues with blocked exits noted in fire complaints from 2017, 2022, and most recently February 2024, though these were typically corrected promptly. The property has also faced some infrastructure challenges, evidenced by recent sidewalk defect reports from October 2024 and earlier complaints about electrical wiring and plumbing issues in 2011. While there have been numerous building permits issued and completed over the past several years, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements, the frequency of violation notices and complaints about basic safety concerns like blocked exits indicates areas needing continued attention.
