3951-3953 20th St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 3951-3953 20th Street, owned by the Laval Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance processes since its construction in 1907. The property has faced recurring staircase-related issues, with violations and necessary repairs noted in 2002 and 2014, leading to work permits in 2014 to repair back porches and stairs for compliance with prior notices of violation.

A complete reroofing project was undertaken in 2011, including the installation of new plywood and asphalt shingles, totaling approximately $14,300 in improvements. The building underwent routine apartment house inspections in 2002, 2009, and a recent one in 2014, which revealed various code compliance matters including the need for carbon monoxide/smoke alarm documentation and structural maintenance affidavits, though these violations have since been resolved. The property's most recent history shows significant parking-related challenges, with multiple complaints about blocked driveways recorded between 2022 and 2024.

There have been at least 14 documented incidents of parking violations in the past two years alone, with officers responding to the majority of these calls and issuing citations in several cases. Other recent maintenance issues in the vicinity include a general cleaning request in August 2023. While the historical building permit and violation records indicate ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts, the building appears to be currently most affected by external issues related to street parking and access, rather than internal building safety concerns, which have been regularly addressed through appropriate permits and inspections.
