28 Bannan Pl, San Francisco, CA 94133

The property at 28 Bannan Place, a three-story multi-family residential building with ground floor commercial space, has undergone extensive recent renovations and has a complex history of violations and repairs. Most notably, in 2023-2024, significant improvements have been made, including the remodeling of ground floor units, accessibility upgrades to commercial spaces, installation of skylights, window modifications, partial roof strengthening, and replacement of water heaters and furnaces, with associated electrical upgrades to 400-amp service.

Earlier work in 2023 involved substantial remodeling of two residential units (1427 and 1431 Grant) including floor plan modifications, bathroom additions, and kitchen remodels. However, the building has a documented history of safety and compliance issues, including active violations from 2016 regarding unauthorized electrical work and concerns about fire separation between commercial and residential spaces, as well as two Notices of Violation from 2012 related to multiple expired permits.

The property has experienced various habitability concerns over the years, including reports of unsafe living conditions (2019), heating issues and water intrusion (2018), and vacant building status (2014). Historical records show ongoing concerns about lead paint safety, electrical systems, and structural elements, with various permits being filed over the years for both corrective actions and exploratory work. While recent permit activity shows significant investment in building improvements, the property’s historical record indicates a pattern of compliance challenges and safety concerns that have required ongoing attention from various city departments.
