3410-3420 22nd St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 18-unit multi-family residential building at 3410-3420 22nd Street, built in 1912, has undergone significant recent renovations and improvements, including completed soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2021, multiple unit renovations in 2021-2022, and the conversion of former commercial spaces to new uses. Notable improvements include the conversion of units #3 and #506 to add washer/dryer facilities and bathroom rehabilitation in 2022, and the transformation of a commercial space into a hair salon in late 2022, which involved both tenant improvements and utility upgrades.

The building has experienced some recurring fire safety issues, with recent violations in 2023 related to sleeping area requirements, though previous violations for fire escapes and alarm systems from 2022-2024 have generally been corrected promptly. A concerning active complaint from August 2024 regarding an unpermitted hand sink installation in the former restaurant space and a general maintenance complaint from September 2023 warrant attention. The property has maintained compliance with major safety requirements, including the completion of its mandatory Tier 4 soft-story retrofit program.

Historical records indicate a period of violations in 2016 related to various safety issues, including lead abatement, which were all addressed within a month. Recent construction and renovation work has primarily focused on modernizing units and improving building systems, including multiple bathroom and kitchen renovations across various units, though there have been some instances of expired permits that may require clarification. The building's location has experienced periodic issues with garbage collection, as evidenced by multiple recent 311 calls regarding overflowing city garbage cans in early 2025, though these appear to be external to the building itself.
