3823-3825 17th St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 3823-3825 17th Street, owned by Calvin James T, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements over the past few decades. The most substantial recent work includes a completed soft-story retrofit in 2016 (Tier 3, cost $40,000) to comply with San Francisco Building Code requirements, demonstrating the owner's commitment to seismic safety.

The building received a major electrical system upgrade in 2021 with the installation of new electrical load centers for each unit, and there was a furnace replacement in 2014, though that permit has since expired. The property has maintained reasonable compliance with safety regulations, with only one documented building violation in 2001 regarding a fire escape ladder, which was promptly addressed within two months. Routine inspections conducted in 2001, 2007, and 2011 found no violations.

While there have been numerous 311 calls regarding the property and its surroundings in 2023-2024, these have primarily concerned external issues such as graffiti, street cleaning, and illegal postings, rather than building-specific concerns. The most recent incidents have been documented in late 2023 and throughout 2024, including multiple instances of graffiti (some of which is noted as not offensive) and issues with waste receptacle management, though many of these cases were either resolved or couldn't be verified upon inspection. Two fire-related incidents were recorded, though both were classified as either false alarms or smoke scares with no civilian injuries reported.
