3224-3248 22nd St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 3224-3248 22nd Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood is a three-story, multi-family residential building with 11 units, constructed in 1885 and currently owned by M Dattani Credit Trust. The building has undergone significant improvements in recent years, particularly in fire safety infrastructure, including the installation of a comprehensive sprinkler system throughout the basement and ground floor in 2020, and a sprinkler monitoring system in 2019. Recent developments include an active permit from October 2023 for changing the restaurant use classification from limited to full-service, which is crucial for the current tenant, Al Carajo, to obtain an ABC Type 41 license for beer sales.

The building has experienced various maintenance and safety issues historically, with notable violations in 2002 related to interior surfaces, including damaged ceilings, walls, windows, and floor coverings, though these were abated by 2004. There were multiple complaints regarding blocked exits and alarm systems between 2005 and 2015, all of which were corrected. Of particular concern is an active complaint from June 2024 regarding unauthorized plumbing modifications for an ice machine installation. The property has undergone several significant improvements, including bathroom and kitchen renovations, the installation of new fire safety systems, and various plumbing updates.

Recent 311 calls in early 2025 suggest ongoing issues with garbage and debris management in the surrounding area, though these are being actively resolved. The building's recent history shows a pattern of commercial use transitions, with the most recent tenant operating a restaurant that requires specific licensing to remain viable. Several permits have been issued for restaurant-related improvements, including kitchen ventilation systems and dining area modifications. The property's maintenance history shows a progression toward improved safety systems, particularly regarding fire safety, though periodic maintenance issues have arisen and been addressed throughout its history.
