3620 18th St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 12-unit apartment building at 3620-3626 18th Street, owned by Jermaine Dennis W & Renee, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety upgrades since its construction in 1908. Most recently, in July 2024, work was permitted to remove and repair brick above garage doors and at the main entrance, with an estimated cost of $13,000. The building has seen substantial infrastructure improvements, including a new hot water boiler installation in 2021, plumbing system upgrades in 2016, and a complete reroofing project in 2019 costing $19,850.

The electrical system has been extensively modernized, with multiple upgrades including a 400A electrical service upgrade in 2006, comprehensive rewiring work in 2008, and recent kitchen wiring improvements in 2019. The building has faced various maintenance and safety challenges over the years, including a broken window reported in September 2024 that posed a safety hazard, and multiple heating system complaints in 2012. Historical issues were documented in 2001 when multiple violations were recorded regarding fire safety, including fire extinguisher maintenance, fire escape ladder repairs, and combustible storage concerns, though these were all abated by November 2001.

Other notable past issues include mildew problems in 2011 attributed to roof leaks, and structural concerns with a broken staircase documented in 2010. The property has required ongoing maintenance for building envelope issues, including stucco repairs in 2009 and foundation support work in 2020. Recent maintenance records show regular attention to the building's systems, though there remain some active matters requiring resolution, such as a routine maintenance affidavit filed in April 2023. The building's location has experienced typical urban challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding sidewalk maintenance and street cleaning, though these appear to be promptly addressed by city services.
