3461-3463 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The four-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 3461-3463 Mission Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Alfaro Family Trust, was constructed in 1907 and has a notable history of both maintenance and compliance issues. Most recently, in late 2021, plumbing work was completed to replace a house trap, and there have been several sewer-related incidents including flooding on the street in February 2022 and other sewer vent issues in 2014, 2015, and 2016.

The building faced significant compliance issues in 2018-2019, when violations related to a vacant commercial storefront triggered multiple notices under the San Francisco Building Code, including violations for maintenance, insurance, and public nuisance - these violations, though not currently active, indicate past challenges with property upkeep and code compliance. Prior to these events, the building underwent a period of internal reconfiguration in the late 1990s, during which two rear units were converted to storage space following compliance actions that included penalties, though these permits have since expired. External maintenance concerns have persisted, with multiple 311 calls regarding infrastructure issues including a missing side sewer vent cover (2019), overgrown tree concerns (2018), and hazardous materials (2020).

The property has demonstrated regular attention to basic maintenance, as evidenced by sidewalk repair work in 2003, though the age of this permit suggests it may no longer be relevant. The building's recent history shows fewer active violations compared to the period from 2018-2019, with no significant safety-related incidents or violations recorded in the past several years. While the property has experienced recurring sewer system issues, most recent cases have been addressed and resolved through appropriate channels.
