3961-3963 24th St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 3961-3963 24th Street in Noe Valley is a 2-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building with front retail space, built in 1900 and currently owned by Joel S & Justine R Coopersm. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues, particularly in recent years. Most notably, there is an active cluster of violations from December 2018 related to basic building maintenance and safety requirements, including issues with heat, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, handrails, ceiling and wall conditions, and plumbing.

A recent complaint from March 2024 reported bathroom mildew problems, and in 2022 there was a complaint regarding incomplete 2014 permits and unauthorized sign installation. The building underwent various improvements between 2011-2013, including ADA compliance modifications, electrical upgrades, and bathroom renovations, though some permits from 2014 remain in an unresolved status. The property has see multiple sidewalk-related issues (2021-2024) regarding blocked pathways and accumulated debris, with some cases relating to retail merchandise display permits. Historical records show earlier improvements including office space renovations and electrical system updates, as well as a compliance issue related to soft-story screening in 2014 which was resolved in early 2015.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of periodic upgrades and improvements, including furnace replacement, plumbing renovations, and electrical system enhancements between 2011-2013, when several modernization projects were successfully completed. However, the more recent history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly evident in the December 2018 violations that remain active, which include requirements for proper heating systems, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and general building maintenance. The property has faced multiple sidewalk-related concerns between 2021 and 2024, primarily regarding blocked pathways and cleanliness issues. While the building has an established history of permits and improvements, the persistence of some violations and the age of certain unresolved permits from 2014 may indicate areas requiring attention, though this should not be interpreted as an indication of current conditions.
