219 27th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 219 27th Ave in Sea Cliff, owned by Jung Shew M, was constructed in 1975 and has undergone several notable modifications and compliance issues over its history. Most significantly, a major compliance incident occurred in 2004 when the rear storage room was converted into a full residential unit with a bathroom without proper permits, resulting in a third floor of occupancy that violated occupancy permits.

This situation led to a building violation citation for multiple life safety concerns, including improper occupancy, unauthorized wiring and plumbing installations, ventilation deficiencies, questionable fire-resistant materials, improper windows, uncertain heat sources, and inadequate smoke detectors. The violation was ultimately abated in December 2005, coinciding with work completed to remove an illegal bathroom (completed in 2005 at a cost of $2,000) and other renovations.

Prior to this, in 2002, significant bathroom and kitchen renovations were completed in Unit #3 ($9,000) and Unit #2 ($2,600), along with corresponding electrical work. Earlier building safety improvements included an attempted sprinkler system installation in the garage area in 1999, though records indicate this permit expired. The building has not had any active violations or complaints since 2005, suggesting that the property has maintained compliance with building codes in recent years.
