3825-3829 24th St, San Francisco, CA 94114

This 3-unit multi-family residential building, located at 3825-3829 24th Street in Noe Valley, is a three-story flats & duplex structure built in 1907, currently owned by Susanna Shaw. The property has experienced several significant issues in recent years, with the most concerning being active building code violations from 2010 related to unauthorized electrical work, unapproved electrical wiring, substandard building conditions, and heating system problems.

In 2020, there were multiple complaints regarding construction work occurring without proper permits, reports of pest infestations, and concerns about living conditions, including claims of over-occupancy in the middle floor unit and improper garbage disposal practices. During the past 15 years, the building has undergone various improvements and repairs, including heating system upgrades in 2016 (installing new gas furnaces to replace electric heaters), kitchen and bathroom refinishing work in 2020, and several safety-related improvements such as handrail repairs, electrical upgrades, and plumbing work to address housing inspection violations. The property has a documented history of maintenance and safety concerns, including multiple citations for improper combustible storage, self-closing door requirements, and missing fire extinguishers from 2009-2012, though many of these earlier violations have been marked as resolved.

Recent activity around the property includes frequent reports of abandoned furniture and debris on the sidewalk in 2022-2024, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls for street cleaning services. The building underwent a condo conversion process, which was approved, and historical records indicate the installation of essential safety features such as smoke alarms and updated gas venting systems across all units. While some permit-related issues appear to have been addressed through subsequent work (such as the 2020 renovation that included electrical and plumbing updates), the persistence of certain building code violations suggests ongoing compliance challenges.
