3232 21st St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 15-unit apartment building at 3232 21st St in the Inner Mission, owned by Tse Living Trust, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance improvements since its construction in 1922. Most recently, in March 2023, repairs were completed to the garage and boiler room ceilings, along with removal of an unapproved roof cover (cost: $1,500). A major fire safety upgrade was completed in 2022-2024, including the installation of a new fire alarm system (cost: $25,200) and additional fire safety equipment such as exit signs and emergency lights.

The building has also addressed structural safety concerns, having completed a mandatory seismic retrofit in 2014 (cost: $50,000) to comply with soft-story ordinance requirements. The property has experienced several building inspections and violations over the years, with the most recent routine health and safety inspection in 2022-2023. Historical issues were addressed, including fire escape maintenance, fire extinguisher requirements, and various fire system upgrades, demonstrating ongoing attention to safety compliance.

Fire department records show multiple responses to alarm activations and system checks between 2012-2022, but no significant fire incidents or civilian injuries have been recorded. Recent maintenance work includes a new Laars boiler installation (2024) and electrical system upgrades. While there have been recurring issues with sidewalk maintenance and occasional reports of debris, these have been addressed through appropriate municipal channels. The building's most concerning historical incident was a 2000 complaint involving sewage leaks and sanitation issues, which were promptly resolved.
