243 27th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

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.

The property has generated numerous 311 calls primarily related to parking issues in recent years, with multiple reports of blocked driveways and illegal parking being addressed by parking enforcement. While these parking issues are separate from building conditions, they indicate the challenges of managing parking access in the area. A single fire incident involving a smoke detector malfunction has been recorded, with no civilian injuries reported. The building's owners, Davis & Jessie Louie Revoc, have demonstrated a pattern of addressing major maintenance needs through periodic upgrades, as evidenced by the recent siding and roofing projects, though the frequency of system-related tenant complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
