3101 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 55-unit, five-story multi-family residential building at 3101 Mission St in Bernal Heights was constructed in 2000 and is currently owned by Bernal Gateway 2 LP. The building has undergone several significant improvements and faced some notable incidents over the past few years. Most recently, in early 2025, there were multiple reports of garbage and debris issues around the property, with several cases of overflowing city garbage cans and abandoned items. In November 2024, a waterproofing project for the center patio planters was permitted at a cost of $30,000. The building experienced a serious incident in May 2021 when a car crashed into the storefront, causing damage to windows, doors, and some metal framing, though residential units above were reportedly unharmed.

This prompted repairs costing over $35,000 and involved both structural and security system fixes. During 2020-2021, the building underwent significant safety upgrades, including a complete fire alarm system replacement in early 2021 that involved installing new detectors, pull stations, horn/strobes, and low-frequency horns in units to meet updated code requirements. Several boiler permit violations were noted between 2018-2020, though these were resolved by 2021. The property has seen substantial maintenance and upgrade work, including roofing replacement, accessibility improvements, and mechanical system upgrades as part of a $2.5 million renovation project completed in 2019. Recent mechanical improvements include the installation of a new ductless air conditioning system in 2022 and various plumbing upgrades, such as the addition of solar thermal water heating components in 2020.

The building's emergency systems have received regular attention, with multiple fire alarm system maintenance records showing prompt resolution of any issues. While the building has had several fire-related incidents recorded (mostly cooking-related or system malfunctions), none resulted in civilian injuries. The property has faced some maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple housing inspections noting issues with interior surfaces, flooring, and ventilation systems, though these complaints were generally addressed within a reasonable timeframe. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to safety systems, with most violations and complaints being efficiently resolved. Recent improvements suggest ongoing care for the building's infrastructure, though the frequency of garbage-related issues in early 2025 may warrant observation. The property has maintained an active approach to code compliance, with most violations being promptly addressed, and has implemented significant safety upgrades over the past few years to ensure resident security and comfort.
