267-271 Hermann St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story, three-unit multi-family residential building at 267-271 Hermann Street in Hayes Valley, owned by John F. Ramirez, has undergone significant renovations and faced multiple safety concerns over the past two decades. Built in 1900, this TIC building has seen substantial upgrades since 2014, including major electrical improvements with a new 200-amp panel and comprehensive rewiring, plumbing system upgrades including tankless water heaters and radiant floor heating, and interior renovations of kitchens and bathrooms.

Notable 2018-2019 work included a contentious period involving unpermitted demolition of unit 267, which resulted in a building violation, followed by a completed lightwell installation and various interior improvements. The building has experienced several safety-related issues requiring attention, particularly concerning the rear stairs, which were deemed unsafe in 2015 and required immediate attention as they were a means of egress for all three units. Historical violations from 2005 included issues with self-closing doors and stair repairs, though these have since been resolved.

Recent inspections (including 311 calls) indicate ongoing attention to building maintenance needs in the surrounding area, though these are primarily related to street cleanliness rather than building-specific issues. A few minor fire-related incidents were recorded, all with no injuries or serious concerns, primarily involving detector activations without any actual fires or gas leaks. The property's permit history shows consistent investment in maintenance and upgrades, particularly in 2018-2019, focusing on code compliance and modernizing building systems while addressing past safety concerns.
