Initial analysis

This two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located at 243 27th Ave in Sea Cliff was built in 1923 and has had several significant upgrades and maintenance activities over the past decades. Most recently, in 2023, the building underwent siding replacement with Jamies Hardie lap siding, costing approximately $18,660, following a $16,000 reroofing project completed in 2021. The building has a history of various repairs and compliance improvements, including the replacement of back staircase handrails in 2009 to meet code requirements, and earthquake safety improvements in 1991 with the installation of perimeter bolts.

The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues affecting resident comfort and safety, with multiple complaints about basic systems and appliances. Recent complaints from 2023 and 2015 documented problems with hot water systems, while previous issues included heating system failures, plumbing concerns, and appliance malfunction in various units between 2009 and 2015. The building underwent a significant inspection process in 2004-2005, resulting in multiple violations related to fire safety, including smoke detector requirements, fire extinguisher maintenance, and combustible storage concerns, though these were all ultimately abated. More recent routine inspections and repairs suggest ongoing attention to building maintenance, though the pattern of system-related complaints indicates some challenges with maintaining consistent building systems performance.

Risk rating

How 243 27Th Ave's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
