3659-3661 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 3659-3661 Mission St in Bernal Heights, owned by the Bolton Family Trust, dates back to 1908 and has experienced several significant maintenance and accessibility issues in recent years. Most notably, in January 2020, a disabled tenant filed a complaint regarding severe accessibility problems, including four steps at the entrance, unlevel floors creating transfer difficulties, and a concerning concrete retaining wall blocking emergency egress from the bedroom window. This complaint highlighted inadequate disability accommodations and raised safety concerns about fire escape routes.

The building has undergone various structural modifications over the years, including multiple attempts at horizontal additions in 1988-1989, foundation repairs, and more recently in 2017, replacement of wood stairs and deck in the rear yard costing $8,000. An electrical upgrade was completed in 2003 with the installation of underground service conversion and two meters. The property has faced several maintenance challenges in recent years, including a November 2019 complaint about a garage filled with excess personal items potentially posing fire and rodent hazards, and unauthorized kitchen remodeling work by the landlord.

Parking and accessibility issues have been recurring concerns, as evidenced by multiple complaints about driveway blocking between 2018 and 2021. Recent complaints also noted sanitation issues, though these were subsequently addressed. The building's history includes some structural improvements, such as a 1987 renovation involving storefront and interior updates, and various cleaning and graffiti removal services performed by city agencies between 2009 and 2021. While some building permits, like the 2017 stair replacement and 2003 electrical upgrade, were properly completed, several others from the late 1980s were either expired or cancelled.
