3080 San Bruno Ave, San Francisco, CA 94134

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 3080 San Bruno Avenue in the Portola neighborhood was constructed in 1988 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history. Most recently, in June 2019, the property faced multiple fire code violations related to storage in boiler, mechanical & electric rooms, sprinkler obstructions, and improper electrical usage with extension cords, though these were subsequently abated.

Prior to this, a concerning pattern of problems emerged in March 2001, when the building was cited for multiple violations including security issues (missing self-closing devices at exterior doors, inadequate door viewers), fire safety concerns (egress obstruction at fire escape, missing fire extinguisher), interior surface damage (broken window panes, damaged walls, floor covering issues), and sanitation problems (garbage receptacle maintenance). The building's construction history shows proper permits were obtained for its original three-family dwelling construction in March 1987, with some sprinkler system revisions completed later that year, and a street space permit issued in 2011.

More recent interactions with city services have primarily involved external issues such as parking violations and street cleaning matters, with the most recent 311 calls in 2024 concerning a collapsed sidewalk (currently open) and various debris removal requests. The building maintains a record of regular housing inspections between 1999-2011, with the most recent known complaints from 2019 regarding electrical safety concerns. While many violations have been addressed through official channels, the concentration of issues in both 2001 and 2019 suggests periods of significant maintenance challenges, particularly regarding fire safety and electrical systems.
