3329-3333 20th St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-story, 10-unit multi-family residential building at 3329-3333 20th Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, owned by Meda Small Properties LLC, has undergone significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges since its construction in 1900. The property has seen extensive improvements between 2017 and 2019, including voluntary structural improvements ($148,000), complete remodeling of all units, ADA accessibility modifications, and the installation of a new fire alarm system ($25,000). Between 2017 and 2018, all units received electrical upgrades, and substantial plumbing work was performed, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, and replacement of sewer lines, water main, and gas lines.

Of particular note is the building's fire safety history, with multiple fire alarm system issues documented between 2005 and 2024, including a recent violation in January 2024. Historical complaints from 2000-2001 revealed serious maintenance issues at that time, including sanitation problems, interior surface violations, and heating system failures, though these appear to have been addressed. The most recent complaint, filed in September 2023, regarding common areas, is currently active.

There have been several instances of building quality control issues in recent years, including multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 related to general cleaning, graffiti, and sidewalk conditions. The building has also experienced periodic plumbing issues, with complaints about slow drains and standing water noted in 1997, and a sewage incident reported in 2001. While most historical violations and complaints have been resolved, including past problems with pests, lighting, and various infrastructure systems, the building's maintenance history shows a pattern of ongoing attention required for fire safety systems and regular upkeep of common areas.
