3811 Cesar Chavez St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The two-unit residential building at 3811 Cesar Chavez Street in Noe Valley, owned by Elke Peter, is a single-story flats and duplex structure dating back to 1910. The property has experienced several significant issues in recent years, with the most pressing being a sewage system failure in December 2024 involving a broken house trap that created unsanitary conditions, though this was resolved by early January 2025 through intervention from the SFPUC Sewer Operations.

The building has also faced multiple challenges with parking enforcement, particularly in spring 2024, with several documented incidents of driveway blocking by various vehicles, including multiple cases involving a silver Toyota Prius and different vehicles like a VW, Chevy, Volvo, Audi, and others, though enforcement officers were often unable to validate the violations or located the offending vehicles. Historical records show some concerning events, including a gas leak incident recorded by fire services (exact date unspecified) and a malfunctioning alarm system, neither of which resulted in civilian injuries.

A blocked exit complaint was filed in late 2015, though this was addressed by early 2016. The building's permit history is relatively minimal, with a notable kitchen remodel and bathroom addition permit from 1988 that was ultimately cancelled, and a street space-related permit issued in 2014 with a nominal cost of $1. While the property has faced various maintenance and compliance challenges over the years, recent records suggest that most issues have been addressed promptly, though the frequency of parking-related complaints in 2024 indicates ongoing challenges with access to the property.
