1325-1327 Bay St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1325-1327 Bay Street in the Marina district, built in 1923, has experienced significant permit and violation activity, most notably a current active violation (since April 2017) regarding unauthorized modifications and unit conversions. This active violation alleges that the ground floor area behind the garage was converted into a fourth dwelling unit with improper egress and fire protection, including unpermitted electrical and plumbing work. The building has undergone multiple renovation attempts over the years, including a 2017 permit application to legalize garage drywall installation, heat pump installation, and toilet replacement, though this permit was ultimately cancelled.

Previous structural issues were addressed through various permits, including window replacement in 2014 to fix third-floor leaks, rear elevation plywood and siding replacement, and multiple system upgrades such as furnace and water heater relocations in 2008. The property has experienced several compliance issues, including multiple expired or cancelled permits, such as the 2011 electrical work permit for rewiring all outlets and installation of new fixtures, and a 2011 garage electrical improvements permit. Historical complaints from 2008-2011 indicate concerns about rooftop modifications, unauthorized construction of a spiral stair to a roof deck, and various building systems installation issues.

In recent months, there have been multiple 311 calls regarding sidewalk blockages by scooters, though these are unrelated to building conditions. Planning records indicate attempts to address several property concerns, including illegal short-term rentals and ongoing discussions about the ground floor unit legalization. The building's current owner, Andrew Fife, is associated with the active violation case, which remains unresolved as of the latest available data.
