2586-2590 3rd St, San Francisco, CA 94107

This four-story mixed-use building, located at 2586-2590 3rd Street and currently owned by Leo Trust 2002, was constructed in 1992 and contains 3 residential units above ground floor commercial space. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the past decade, including recent siding replacement work in 2022 ($15,000) and a complete reroofing in 2017 ($16,000). The property has a documented history of compliance issues, particularly regarding unauthorized unit conversions.

A major enforcement action occurred in 2009-2012 when the building was found to contain illegally converted guest rooms with inadequate safety features, resulting in multiple violations related to fire safety, building code compliance, and occupancy permits. The building has experienced recurring fire safety concerns, with violations and complaints about extinguishers, alarm systems, and other safety equipment between 2015-2024, though most have been marked as abated or deferred. Recent inspections in 2022 and routine safety inspections in 2015 revealed ongoing concerns about building systems and maintenance, though many historical violations from earlier years, including 2002, have been resolved. The property has maintained its multi-family residential character as evidenced by permits and routine inspections, though there have been persistent concerns about dampness, potential mold issues, and unauthorized unit conversions.

A series of building permits between 2010-2022 demonstrate ongoing maintenance and repair work, including window replacements and various system upgrades. While there have been some recent 311 calls regarding garbage, debris, and parking issues in the vicinity of the building (most from 2024), these are primarily municipal service matters rather than specific building-related concerns. The recent fire complaints (2024) regarding alarm systems suggest that safety system maintenance continues to be an area requiring attention. The building's recent history shows significant investment in building maintenance and repairs, though periodic fire safety and building code compliance issues have persisted throughout its history.
