3597 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 3597 Mission St in Bernal Heights is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, containing three units and associated retail space, currently owned by Frank Ayala. The building's documented history includes several significant maintenance and infrastructure upgrades, most notably a comprehensive electrical system upgrade in 2004 that installed a new 125-amp main electrical service as part of an underground conversion project, which was completed successfully.

Earlier renovation efforts in the 1990s included attempted kitchen and bathroom remodeling, though these permits faced some issues, including a complaint about work being done without proper permits in 1997, which was eventually abated in 2000. More recently, the property has experienced recurring issues with garbage and debris management in the immediate vicinity, with ten documented cases of overflowing city garbage cans between January 4 and January 13, 2025, all of which were resolved through city intervention.

While these sanitation issues appear to be primarily related to street maintenance rather than building operations, the frequency of these incidents in early 2025 is notable. The building's more distant history shows typical maintenance patterns for an older structure, including bathroom renovations in 2013 involving tile and cement board work in the tub area. The most recent permit activity on record dates back to 2013, suggesting no major building modifications or improvements have been undertaken in the past decade.
