3069 23rd St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit, two-story residential building at 3069 23rd Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Gaehwiler Family LLC, has a troubled history marked by persistent vacancy issues and safety concerns. Built in 1900, this flats/duplex building has been under various stages of neglect from 2010 through 2024, with multiple violations of the Vacant or Abandoned Building Ordinance (194-09). These violations, spanning from 2010 to 2024, cited issues including poor exterior and interior maintenance, security concerns, and public nuisance conditions, including broken windows, graffiti, and debris accumulation.

The most recent citations in 2023-2024 highlighted serious safety concerns and management failures, though these violations were reportedly abated by December 5, 2024. A significant proposed redevelopment project was filed in May 2023, seeking to preserve the front facade while constructing a new 9-unit multi-family building with combined residential and commercial space, though as of now this remains in the filing stage with an estimated cost of $3,167,000. The building's systems include a 200 amp service upgrade completed in 2004, when PG&E installed a new underground electrical system.

Recent months have seen numerous reports of garbage, debris, and public space maintenance issues around the property, with 311 calls documenting these concerns. Planning records indicate some level of official mediation activity in 2023, though details are unclear. The building's extensive history of vacant building violations and safety concerns, combined with its proposed redevelopment plans, suggests this property is currently at a transitional phase, with potential for significant change in the near future.
