3217-3219 San Bruno Ave, San Francisco, CA 94134

This two-unit multi-family residential building, located at 3217-3219 San Bruno Ave in Visitacion Valley, was constructed in 2011 and is currently owned by Henry Chakming Chan. The property has experienced two significant incidents involving vehicle collisions, with the most recent occurring in November 2022 when a vehicle crashed into the garage, damaging the wall, steel column, electrical sub-panel, and gas line, resulting in emergency utility shutdowns and required repairs costing $10,000. Prior to this, in September 2021, another vehicle collision caused minor damage to the ground floor wall and door.

Both incidents triggered building violations under SFBC 102A requiring monthly monitoring fees. The building underwent extensive renovations between 2009-2010, including bathroom modifications, electrical upgrades, and heating system installations, with all work properly permitted and completed. Two historical complaints from 2011-2012 regarding an allegedly illegally converted unit behind the garage were resolved, though some street space permits from 2009-2010 remain on record.

The property has required various maintenance and repair work over the years, including a significant electrical upgrade in 2010 with the installation of a 400-amp underground service. Recent activity at the property has primarily involved routine issues such as graffiti removal and garbage collection, with the most recent maintenance being related to building repairs from the 2022 vehicle collision. While the two vehicle incidents raise safety concerns about the ground floor area's vulnerability, the building has otherwise maintained proper permit compliance and undergone regular upkeep. The property has not experienced any recent fire incidents directly related to the building structure, though there have been three motor vehicle-related incidents recorded in the vicinity, none resulting in civilian injuries.
