4606-4608 3rd St, San Francisco, CA 94124

The property at 4606-4608 3rd Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building with ground-floor retail space, constructed in 1947 and currently owned by Bertolucci Tosca. The building underwent significant commercial transformation in 2014, when a grocery store was converted to a full-service restaurant with extensive renovations including ADA upgrades, new kitchen installation, and restroom additions, costing $50,000.

This project was followed by additional work in 2018, including the installation of an UL300 fire system and comprehensive plumbing and electrical improvements for the restaurant. While these recent improvements demonstrate investment in the property, there are several concerning issues from the building's history that remain unresolved. Most notably, there is an active set of violations from 2000 that includes multiple safety and maintenance concerns such as damaged walls, stairs, flooring, sink repairs, egress obstructions, and fire safety issues including smoke detector requirements.

The building also experienced various maintenance and safety issues in its history, including a bad odor complaint in 2020, vacant storefront concerns in 2019, and construction-related complaints in 2008. Recent maintenance calls throughout 2024 have primarily focused on garbage and debris issues in the vicinity of the property, while a sidewalk defect was noted in 2020. Although multiple permits for improvements and repairs have been issued over the years, the persistence of the 2000 violations suggests there are long-standing maintenance challenges that continue to affect the property.
