3415 22nd St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-story, 21-unit multi-family residential building at 3415 22nd Street in Noe Valley, owned by Robert A. Imhoff, has significant recent concerns requiring attention. Most notably, as of June 26, 2023, there are multiple active violations concerning interior surfaces, electrical systems, and weatherproofing, including issues with floor coverings, fire escape maintenance, fire-proofing materials, and the requirement for a Section 604 compliance affidavit.

The building is also currently classified as Non-Compliant under the Tier 4 soft-story seismic retrofit program, with an active complaint filed in December 2022. The property has undergone various permitted improvements over the years, including a ground floor apartment remodel in 2020 and backflow prevention system installation, but several soft-story retrofit attempts have either been withdrawn or remain incomplete. Historical records show recurring maintenance issues and violations, particularly in recent years. In 2024, there were two fire safety citations issued regarding permits and sleeping area requirements.

Previous fire safety concerns included violations related to blocked exits, alarm systems, and extinguishers between 2010 and 2018. The building has undergone various renovations and repairs, including kitchen remodels in 2017, sewer repairs in 2014, and electrical system updates, though some permits show as expired or completed without clear resolution of associated issues. Recent 311 calls (September-December 2024) indicate ongoing concerns with sidewalk conditions and cleanliness around the property, though these are mostly external issues not directly affecting resident safety. While some construction work has been properly permitted and completed, there have been allegations of unpermitted work, particularly during 2017-2018, though these complaints have since been resolved.
