277-287 Pixley St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 2-story, 8-unit apartment building at 277-287 Pixley Street in Cow Hollow, owned by New California Land Company and constructed in 1906, has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most notable being a completed soft-story retrofit in 2018 costing $104,000 to enhance seismic safety. The building experienced water damage and mold issues in 2015, particularly affecting the garage area, which required remediation and repairs to approximately 384 square feet of drywall, along with the replacement of windows and a bathroom fan.

This period also saw some unauthorized renovations that resulted in building violations, including unpermitted kitchen and window work, though these issues were subsequently addressed. The property has a documented history of maintenance and improvement work, including window replacements, electrical upgrades (sub-panel installation), and bathroom remodels between 2011-2015. A routine inspection in 2011 revealed fire proofing issues that were promptly addressed.

More recent maintenance issues have primarily been related to exterior upkeep, with complaints in 2016 regarding mold on wood siding and in 2015 concerning paint preparation work that affected surrounding areas. The building's location has experienced multiple parking enforcement issues in 2023-2024, with several citations issued for sidewalk blocking and driveway obstructions, though these are not directly related to the building's structural or maintenance conditions. Recent 311 calls (in 2023-2024) primarily concern street cleaning and parking enforcement rather than building-specific issues, suggesting improved property maintenance in recent years compared to the more problematic period of 2015-2016.
