1627 Pierce St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1627 Pierce St in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by Edward A Underwood, is a Victorian-era structure dating back to 1900. The property has two units and has experienced significant maintenance and safety concerns over recent years. In October 2021, multiple complaints were filed regarding serious problems with the rear portion of the building, including reports of structural deterioration, a collapsed retaining wall, and pest infestation, leading to a failure to comply with the Vacant or Abandoned Building Ordinance.

These complaints were eventually abated by December 2021. Earlier in its history, in 2001, there was a complaint about the building being a fire hazard with extremely poor wiring and lack of maintenance for 30 years, though this issue was resolved within a month. The building's maintenance history shows some permitted work, including a street and sidewalk permit in 2010 and a completed plumbing permit for a housetrap replacement in 2012.

More recently, there have been multiple noise complaints in the past few years, with the most recent one reported in October 2023. There have also been several parking-related issues near the property between 2019 and 2024, including blocked driveways and vehicles parking on sidewalks. A tenant buyout was recorded for the adjacent unit at 1629 Pierce Street in June 2021, with one tenant receiving $11,500. The property has undergone minimal permitted work in recent years, with the last significant building permit activity showing street and sidewalk work in 2010 and plumbing work in 2012.
