3601-3603 26th St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 3601-3603 26th Street in the Inner Mission is a 2-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, containing 4 units with a retail component. The building has undergone several significant safety improvements in recent years, including voluntary foundation bolting upgrades in 2013 with associated rot repairs ($5,000), and multiple fire safety-related interventions between 2018-2024. These fire code violations included issues with alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and multiple fire code violations, with the most recent occurring in March 2024. The building has a history of maintenance work including reroofing projects in 1997 and 2004 ($9,600), street space and sidewalk repairs in 2008, and plumbing work in 2013 for commercial kitchen systems.

The property has experienced several building violations and complaints over the years, with notable issues in 2001 including security violations and fire safety concerns, and a series of violations in 2010 related to fire escape maintenance and access. Recent complaints from 2023 regarding a vacant storefront are now marked as not active. There has been a consistent history of fire safety system maintenance needs, with multiple instances of alarm system and sprinkler system corrections required between 2018-2024. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 indicate ongoing concerns with illegal parking and debris, though these are not directly related to building safety or maintenance.

The property's commercial component received Planning Department approval for a Type 41 ABC License for a full-service restaurant, indicating potential ongoing retail operations at this location. The building's recent maintenance record shows attention to structural integrity and safety systems, though the pattern of recurring fire code violations suggests ongoing challenges with system maintenance and compliance. Multiple fire incidents recorded at the address between 2018-2024 indicate regular fire alarm system activations, primarily due to malfunction or no fire conditions, with no civilian injuries reported in any of the incidents. The property has maintained active compliance with most building and fire safety requirements, though the historical record shows periods of code violations requiring correction and abatement.
