4942 3rd St, San Francisco, CA 94124

The property at 4942 3rd Street in the Bayview neighborhood is a mixed-use building constructed in 1920, currently containing one commercial space and one residential unit. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and regulatory issues over the past decade, most notably multiple building code violations identified in 2014 that revealed serious concerns including water damage, deteriorated walls, lack of working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and missing heat sources.

These violations, which were subject to abatement proceedings, were eventually addressed by November 2014 through various permits and repairs, including a reroofing project completed in 2014 at a cost of $9,560. More recently, the building has faced ongoing maintenance challenges, with active complaints about peeling paint (filed July 2024) and unresolved roof leaks in the upper unit (filed September 2014). The property has also been cited for lead paint hazards and sanitation issues in 2014, though these were marked as abated.

The building's permit history shows various improvements, including electrical upgrades and plumbing work in 2015-2016, but there have been periods of significant compliance issues, such as a 2018 citation for failure to comply with the Commercial Water Conservation Ordinance. The roof structure has been a particular focus of regulatory attention, with unauthorized modifications reported in 2014 that required subsequent permits to rectify. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 indicate ongoing issues with garbage and debris management near the property, though these are primarily street-level concerns.
