3681-3683 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-story multi-family residential building at 3681-3683 Mission St, built in 1981 and currently owned by Joseph K. Choi, has experienced significant maintenance and habitability issues in recent years. Most notably, in July 2023, an active complaint (202310521) was filed citing multiple violations including improper maintenance of the fire escape ladder, electrical outlet problems, general dilapidation, and the presence of a rodent infestation.

The property has a troubling history of similar issues, with numerous complaints documented between 2014-2015 regarding heating problems, pest infestations, and general maintenance concerns. Recent maintenance attempts include the repair of kitchen under-cabinet lighting in August 2023 and the installation of new vinyl windows and siding in 2008. The building's permit history shows several infrastructure modifications, including garage door replacements and electrical meter revisions in 2008-2009, though these seem relatively minor compared to the current maintenance issues.

A concerning pattern of complaints emerges from 2014-2015, when tenants reported various habitability problems such as heat loss, pests, and security concerns, many of which were marked as "Not Active" after initial investigation. Recent electrical work completed in August 2023 offers some indication of ongoing maintenance efforts, but the presence of multiple active violations as of August 2023 suggests persistent maintenance challenges. While there have been no recorded civilian injuries from fire incidents at this address, the documented fire escape maintenance violation is particularly concerning from a safety perspective.
