272-276 Hermann St, San Francisco, CA 94117

This three-story multi-family residential building, located at 272-276 Hermann Street in Hayes Valley, was constructed in 1890 and contains three units. The property has undergone various maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most recent significant work completed in 2023 involving the replacement of three street-facing windows at a cost of $3,000. This window replacement became the subject of a complaint in May 2023 regarding unauthorized work and incorrect window type, though records show compliance was achieved through the Hermann St Partners LLC to replace the windows with approved wood, double-hung units with integrated ogee lugs.

The building has a history of addressing maintenance issues, including a 2006 bathroom repair in unit 276 due to leakage, dry rot repair in 1996, and kitchen cabinet replacement in 1989. Safety systems have been updated, including a comprehensive fire alarm system installation in 2002 featuring smoke detectors and pull stations. The property has experienced several regulatory compliance issues, notably in 2002 when multiple violations were documented related to stairs, security doors, and gas meter instructions, though all were resolved within a month.

Recent building complaints and 311 calls primarily relate to exterior maintenance matters such as garbage accumulation and parking violations, with multiple cleaning and parking enforcement cases documented between 2023-2024. While there have been three recorded fire incidents, they were all related to false alarms or detector malfunctions, with no civilian injuries reported. The building's maintenance history, permit records, and violation resolutions suggest regular upkeep and response to safety concerns, though recent complaints about window replacement and ongoing issues with exterior debris indicate areas requiring continued attention.
