3011-3015 23rd St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 3011-3015 23rd Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, owned by the Melendez Velez Family Trust, was constructed in 1906 and has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements over the past decades. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2019, which included foundation work with rebar reinforcement, though there was a violation filed in 2020 for failure to complete the work that was ultimately resolved by October 2022.

The property has seen various maintenance and safety improvements, including electrical upgrades in 2016-2017 (new plugs, switches, LED lighting, and sub-panel installation), replacement of rear exterior stairs in 2009, and underpinning work in 2002. Recent concerns have emerged regarding potential lead hazards, with complaints filed in April 2024 regarding exterior work involving an air compressor, though these complaints were abated by May 2024.

The building experienced several routine safety inspections throughout its history, with violations noted in 2000 related to the central alarm system, self-closing doors, and fire extinguisher maintenance - all of which were promptly addressed. The most recent building activity includes multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding street cleaning and parking enforcement issues near the property, though these are external to the building itself. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to safety requirements, though the recent lead hazard concerns and past soft-story retrofit violation indicate areas that required additional oversight to ensure compliance with safety standards.
