3265 Cesar Chavez St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building at 3265 Cesar Chavez St in Bernal Heights, constructed in 1924 and owned by Samson Aurora C, has a concerning history of fire safety issues and unauthorized unit modifications. Most notably, there have been multiple fire code violations recorded in 2017 and 2022, including a cooking fire confined to a container and issues with the alarm system maintenance in May 2022, though some of these violations were eventually abated.

The building's history also reveals two significant complaints about illegal units, with reports in 1999 and 2005 regarding unauthorized living spaces in the basement and garage, though these cases are no longer active. In recent months (October 2024 to January 2025), the property has faced numerous garbage and debris issues, with multiple reports of abandoned furniture and waste requiring intervention from various city agencies including Recology and Public Works Street and Environmental Services. The most recent incident was reported in January 2025.

While all these 311 calls were resolved one way or another, the frequency and nature of these complaints suggest ongoing challenges with waste management in the vicinity. The building's recent history also shows interactions with parking enforcement in November 2024, though this appears to be related to the surrounding area rather than the building itself. A related property planning record shows a project at 3275 Army St (nearby) for four duplexes with parking, which received CEQA clearance but is unrelated to the subject property.
