2624-2626 3rd St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The two-story multi-family residential building at 2624-2626 3rd Street, owned by 2624 3rd St LLC, was constructed in 1941 and contains 4 units. The property has a significant history of code violations and unpermitted modifications, most notably in 2007-2008 when violations were recorded regarding unauthorized construction, exposed wiring, insufficient ceiling height, unsafe egress, and illegal living spaces including an unauthorized kitchen and bathroom.

These issues led to multiple notices of violation (NOVs) and ultimately required remediation work in 2010 to restore proper safety features, including handrails and ceiling heights. The building underwent several maintenance and improvement projects between 2007 and 2011, including siding replacement, window upgrades, and compliance work, with costs ranging from $2,500 to $20,000. More recent history shows ongoing concerns with the property's condition, including multiple fire alarm activations (mostly false alarms) between 2021 and 2023, and various complaints regarding illegal parking and sidewalk-related issues in 2023-2024.

A notable housing complaint in 2007 documented inadequate facilities and maintenance issues, including heating problems and sanitation concerns, though these were reportedly addressed by 2011. The building's permit history shows both completed and expired permits for various improvements, indicating a pattern of addressing maintenance issues over time. While most historical violations have been marked as abated, the property has experienced recurring issues with fire alarm system malfunctions in recent years, suggesting ongoing concerns with building systems.
