3550-3552 22nd St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 3550-3552 22nd Street is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building with commercial ground floor space, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Andrew G. McCormick. Significant recent improvements include a comprehensive renovation of unit 3552 in 2022 ($220,000), which encompassed kitchen and bathroom remodeling, door and window replacements, roof work, new skylights, and rear exit stairs reconstruction.

The building underwent crucial safety upgrades in 2020-2021, including the installation of a new fire sprinkler system (41 heads) and related fire alarm communication unit, although a revision in August 2020 removed 3rd floor sprinkler coverage as it was deemed unnecessary. The property transitioned from commercial to residential use on the ground floor in 2018 under Unit Legalization Ordinance 43-14, with associated electrical upgrades including a 400-amp service installation. The building has seen several infrastructure improvements, including HVAC upgrades with a new heat pump installation in October 2023 and furnace replacements in 2021. The property experienced tenant buyouts in 2017 and 2021, with compensation amounts of $25,000 and $100,000 respectively, affecting two tenants in each instance.

Recent maintenance and safety work has been conducted diligently, with most permits marked as complete. The area around the building has experienced typical urban issues including occasional blocked parking spaces and driveway access, which have been addressed by authorities. During 2020, there were multiple encampment reports in the vicinity, though these were handled according to then-current public health guidelines. The property has maintained regular rainfall and stormwater management through proper permitting processes, and all recent building improvements have been conducted under appropriate permits and inspections, suggesting active property maintenance and compliance with current building codes.
