3579-3583 17th St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-story multi-family residential building at 3579-3583 17th Street, owned by Lalit Lachman Balchandani, is a century-old flats/duplex structure containing two units in the Mission Dolores neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant maintenance upgrades in recent years, including the replacement of a failed wall-hung boiler with a new Navien unit in 2019 and a house trap replacement in 2015.

A building complaint was filed in October 2017 regarding potentially unsafe scaffolding installation, though this complaint is currently listed as not active. Recent months have seen increased activity at the property, particularly in 2023-2024, with multiple 311 calls related to various neighborhood issues, including garbage and debris removal, illegal parking, and bicycle lane blocking. Of particular note is a fire alarm system violation issued on October 31, 2023, which was promptly addressed and abated by the following day.

There is currently a planning record under review (as of October 2023) indicating that one of the apartments may be used as office space by "Til" with no specified developer. The building's maintenance history shows attention to essential systems like heating and plumbing, though the recent fire alarm violation raises potential concerns about ongoing system maintenance and compliance. The property has experienced recurring issues with street cleaning and parking violations in the immediate vicinity, though these appear to be more related to neighborhood conditions than building-specific concerns.
