5175-5177 3rd St, San Francisco, CA 94124

The two-unit, two-story residential building at 5175-5177 3rd Street in San Francisco's Bayview neighborhood was built in 1926 and includes a commercial storefront space. The property has experienced recurring issues with its commercial space, having documented violations of the Vacant or Abandoned Commercial Storefront Ordinance from 2019 through 2023, with the most recent violation still active as of July 2023. These violations have included failure to comply with monitoring fee requirements.

In 2024, the building faced a new complaint regarding peeling paint on the front and side of the structure. The building's maintenance history shows some improvements, including a reroofing project completed in 1994 and aluminum window installations in 1989, though a significant remodel of the first floor in 2005 (costing $30,000) has an expired permit status. Recent municipal interactions with the property primarily relate to exterior maintenance and public space concerns.

Between April and December 2024, there have been multiple 311 calls regarding the property's vicinity, including reports of sidewalk defects, parking violations, and graffiti. There have also been several reports of debris and waste on adjacent sidewalks, though most were resolved without requiring specific action. The property's commercial space has been a particular focus of regulatory attention, with multiple violations and complaints about its vacant status since 2019. The owner, Jennifer Gardella, and the property's recent history suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining active commercial use and keeping up with exterior maintenance requirements.
