234 27th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-story, five-unit apartment building at 234 27th Avenue, owned by Alex & Darlene Mcdow Fmly T, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various compliance challenges since its construction in 1962. Most notably, the building successfully completed its mandatory Soft Story retrofit program, achieving "Work Complete, CFC Issued" status as of 2024, though it faced violations for non-compliance in 2021. Recent major improvements include a new 400A electrical service upgrade completed in March 2023, and a reroofing project completed in April 2024 costing $20,700.

The building has a history of fire-related issues, with a fire damage repair to the garage and fire escape in 1991, and multiple fire safety violations addressed in 2006 related to smoke enclosure doors, fire escape maintenance, and fire proofing materials - all of which were abated by October 2015. The property has undergone various infrastructure improvements, including a sewer lateral replacement in 2012, and a significant soft-story retrofit completed in 2015 costing $100,000. Several complaints and violations were recorded in the mid-2000s related to fire safety systems, emergency egress, and routine inspection access, all of which were resolved.

The building experienced one notable case of unpermitted work in 2015 regarding siding installation and stair repairs, though this was subsequently addressed. Recent property maintenance issues have included multiple reports of garbage and debris on the property, with the most recent incidents occurring in December 2024. The property has also had several complaints about parking and sidewalk issues in the surrounding area, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management.
