3574-3590 San Bruno Ave, San Francisco, CA 94134

The 7-unit, 2-story apartment building at 3574-3590 San Bruno Ave in Visitacion Valley, owned by Thomas Richard E, was constructed in 1929 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past decade. Most notably, there are multiple active housing complaints from 2012 regarding inoperable windows, smoke detector issues, appliance problems, and unauthorized water heater replacements that remain unresolved.

The building underwent multiple window replacements in 2012, including wood sash fixed and single hung windows, and had water heater drainage pans installed for units #1, #3, and #4 in September 2012. A series of building violations in 2001 related to fire safety and security requirements were promptly abated within approximately six weeks, including issues with fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and gas utility shutoff tools.

The property has faced various maintenance and compliance challenges since 2012, including concerns about window frames, paint safety during maintenance, and hazardous mechanical equipment noted in a 2019 inspection. More recently, there have been multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding garbage and debris on the property, as well as graffiti on adjacent public infrastructure. The building has a history of fire-related complaints between 2010-2011, though these were generally referred to other agencies or marked as "Condition Corrected." While many historical violations have been resolved, the persistence of the 2012 housing complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
