2936-2946 22nd St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2936-2946 22nd Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, owned by Zhang Forrest Zhisen, has undergone significant improvements and modifications since its construction in 1909. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (cost: $57,000) to improve seismic safety, and added a solar power system in 2017 with 54 PV modules (19.44 DC kW system rating). Recent electrical upgrades include a subpanel replacement in 2023 and a bathroom remodel in 2020 that included modern fixtures and safety improvements.

The building has experienced several maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including kitchen and bathroom remodels (2008, 2014), water line repairs (2019), and various electrical system upgrades. The property has faced multiple building violations and complaints, particularly in 2007-2008, involving unauthorized work including reroofing and window installations, though these issues were subsequently addressed and abated. A routine inspection in 2010 resulted in several fire safety and maintenance citations, which were also resolved.

More recent improvements, including the 2020 bathroom remodel and 2023 electrical upgrades, suggest ongoing maintenance and upgrading of building systems. The building's common areas and utilities have seen considerable modernization, including a service upgrade to 200 amps in 2004, solar installation in 2017, and comprehensive electrical system improvements throughout the years. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street-related issues such as parking violations and waste management, which are not directly related to building conditions. The building is classified as a Tier 3 soft-story retrofit, with work completed and a Certificate of Final Completion issued, indicating compliance with seismic safety requirements.
