3738-3740 22nd St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The two-unit residential building at 3738-3740 22nd Street, owned by the Sinclair Family Revocable Living Trust, has undergone several significant modifications and faced various challenges since its construction in 1900. The property experienced a notable fire incident in 1999 that resulted in damage to floor joists, flooring, kitchen, and bathroom areas.

In response to safety concerns, particularly regarding a retaining wall built in 2000 that lacked proper permits and drainage (leading to water issues with adjacent properties), the owners obtained retroactive permits in 2012 to address these violations. The building has seen regular maintenance and upgrades, including roof replacement in 2007, installation of vinyl windows in 2010, and electrical system improvements with an underground service installation in 2005. More recent concerns include a fire-related violation issued in December 2022 regarding blocked exits and storage in pathways, though this was subsequently abated in February 2023.

The property has experienced various 311 calls in 2024, primarily related to parking and tree issues, including multiple reports of damaged trees in early 2025. While these recent incidents primarily relate to external factors rather than building conditions, they suggest ongoing challenges with parking enforcement and tree maintenance in the vicinity. The building's permit history demonstrates ongoing efforts to maintain and upgrade the property, with most significant issues being addressed through proper channels, though two 311 calls regarding blocked driveways in 2024 and the 2000 retaining wall violation represent the property's most notable external challenges.
