3560 21st St, San Francisco, CA 94114

This three-story, 10-unit multi-family residential building at 3560 21st Street, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, was built in 1930 and is currently owned by 3560 21st Street Invstrs Llc. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including completion of a soft-story retrofit in 2016 (with $80,000 in work) to meet seismic safety requirements, reroofing in 2021 (though this permit expired), and installation of a new steam boiler in 2017. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure needs, including window replacements in 1998, plumbing repairs in 2009, and electrical system upgrades in 2003-2004.

The property has experienced multiple maintenance and safety compliance issues over the years, with the most recent concerns emerging from a December 2022 active complaint regarding fire safety/fire escape/structural problems on the roof. Recent fire safety violations issued in September 2024 included issues with the alarm system and fire extinguishers, though these were subsequently abated by October 2024. The building has a documented history of water-related issues, including plumbing leaks, mold problems in 2013, and a water leak incident in August 2024.

Additional historical violations from 2001 involved multiple safety concerns including fire proofing, handrails, stairs, and self-closing devices, though these were resolved by April 2001. More recent tenant complaints have included concerns about heating systems, ventilation, and pest control, with several maintenance issues documented between 2019 and 2022. The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to many of these issues through repairs and permits, including addressing window problems, roof maintenance, and various system upgrades. Recent 311 calls from 2024 have primarily related to external maintenance matters such as garbage debris and street cleaning, indicating ongoing building maintenance and neighborhood upkeep requirements.
