3468-3470 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 3468-3470 Mission St is a two-story, multi-family residential building with 5 units, constructed in 1904 in Bernal Heights, currently owned by El Qare Fmly Tr. The building has experienced several significant events in recent years, most notably a car crash in June 2023 that damaged the storefront and required multiple repair permits, including recent work filed in June and November 2024 for window and door replacement, and plumbing work in September 2024 for pipe replacement in the lightwell.

The building underwent substantial improvements in 2013, including renovations to 2 units, addition of a bathroom, and various structural modifications. In 2021, there was an attempt to upgrade the rear egress and perform seismic improvements, though this permit was cancelled. The property has a history of maintenance and safety issues dating back to 2000, including multiple violations in 2003 related to heating, plumbing, security, and interior conditions, though all were abated.

More recent improvements include a $400,000 new cafe remodeling project filed in late 2023, and various electrical and plumbing upgrades completed in 2014, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, new electrical service installation, and pipe replacements. There have been multiple complaints about vacancy in the commercial storefront between 2018-2022, though these issues have been addressed. The building has had two documented fire incidents, neither resulting in injuries, and a routine housing inspection in 2015 showed no active violations.
