3914-3916 18th St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The two-unit residential building at 3914-3916 18th Street in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, owned by Henry James Van, is a two-story flats and duplex structure dating back to 1914. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent major work completed in 2022 involving the replacement of approximately 600 feet of rustic siding on the north side, costing $30,000.

Other substantial renovations include a 2016 project ($14,000) that updated three rooms with new sheetrock, electrical circuits, and a kitchen window, a 2003 bathroom remodel with plumbing and window replacements ($18,000), and electrical upgrades including new circuits and a 100-amp subpanel installation. The building has received regular maintenance attention, including a reroofing project in 2006 and various electrical installations. The property has experienced some recent challenges with street-level maintenance, as evidenced by multiple graffiti incidents reported in late 2024, with several cases remaining open as of early 2025.

There have also been two instances of abandoned furniture and debris on the street reported between September and November 2024, though these cases were resolved. While these exterior maintenance issues are noteworthy, it's important to note that the building's major systems and infrastructure appear to have received consistent attention over the years. The most recent fire-related incident on record was a water or steam leak, which did not result in any civilian injuries.
