2027-2029 Ellis St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The three-story multi-family residential building at 2027-2029 Ellis Street in Anza Vista, constructed in 1909, is currently undergoing significant renovations and expansions under the ownership of Joseph Y Dabit. Most notably, there are plans to add two accessory dwelling units (ADUs) at the rear of the property, with a permit filed in November 2020. In 2020, the building underwent substantial interior work, including a kitchen and bathroom remodel in one unit, which initially started without proper permits and led to several complaints during April-May 2020, with residents reporting unpermitted work during the shelter-in-place order and concerns about safety conditions.

These violations were subsequently addressed, and related permits were filed for various improvements including new plumbing, furnaces, water heaters, and soft-story upgrades. The building has experienced some maintenance challenges, particularly relating to dry rot issues at the ground level in early 2020 that required exploratory demolition work. A building fire incident occurred, though no civilian injuries were reported, and the property has had multiple false alarm situations.

More recently, there have been several encampment-related incidents reported in late 2024 near the property, though these are external to the building itself. The property underwent a significant code violation process in 2020 (case #202028246) related to unpermitted construction work, which was eventually resolved in November 2020. While the building's recent history shows substantial investment and improvement work, primarily focused on unit modernization and code compliance, the property has experienced some disruption due to construction activities and the associated regulatory processes.
