Request a Report of Residential Building Record (3R report)

You will need:

• Block and lot information (you can use Building Eye or the SF Property Information Map)
• Address
• Legal owner’s name and contact information

To help us identify the right building, we will ask you if the building is a:

• Corner building
• Condominium
• Co-op

If there are multiple buildings on the lot, we will ask you which building the request is for (front or rear).

If the building is mixed-use (both residential and commercial), the report will only contain the permit history of residential units.

Once you submit payment, no refunds will be issued or changes allowed. 

We will issue a 3R report in seven to 10 business days. 

You can request up to six reports per person per day, per company. Fill out separate online forms for each building on a lot.

You can get the report via:

• Email (as a PDF)
• Mail
• Pickup in person (leave a phone number)

If the address cannot be found in our online system, come to our office in-person or mail the records request with the fee.
