3019-3021 23rd St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 3019-3021 23rd Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission, owned by Mission Housing Dev Corp, was constructed in 1906 and has a current Tier 3 Non-Compliant Soft Story designation. The property has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple maintenance challenges over its history. Most notably, in 2022, an $895,500 approved project was initiated to perform extensive interior and exterior upgrades, including structural improvements, stair reconstruction, window replacement, roof work, and system updates, though this work appears to have experienced delays.

The building has a concerning record of active violations as of 2023, primarily related to fire safety and building maintenance, including issues with fire extinguishers, gas utility shutoff tools, structural maintenance, stairs, weatherproofing, and the presence of combustible storage. These violations, documented during a January 2023 health and safety inspection, all received Notices of Violation in April 2023. The building's recent history includes multiple heating system failures in late 2015, with seven separate complaints filed regarding heat issues between November and December of that year, along with reports of sewage backup problems in August and September 2015.

A significant roofing project was completed in 2011, and there are records of some foundational work and renovation attempts in 1991-1992. Multiple 311 calls have been recorded for the area since 2022-2024, primarily related to street cleaning and debris removal, though these external issues are not directly related to the building's condition or management. The property's long history of maintenance issues, combined with current active violations and non-compliant soft story status, suggests persistent challenges in building upkeep and safety compliance.
