261 27th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

Located in Sea Cliff, 261 27th Avenue is a three-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1962. The property has undergone several significant safety and maintenance improvements over the years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (at a cost of $80,000) to enhance seismic safety, and most recently, in February 2024, the installation of new siding on the right side back of the building costing $28,000. The building has maintained active compliance with safety requirements, though there was a concerning mold issue reported in early 2024 in apartment 3, for which the tenant claimed improper handling during temporary relocation.

Historical safety violations from 2000 and 2006 primarily related to fire safety concerns were addressed and abated by 2001 and 2008, respectively, including issues with fire escapes and fire safety equipment. The building has undergone various maintenance and upgrade projects including re-roofing (2013), window replacements (1996), and bathroom/kitchen renovations in unit #8 (2008) including plumbing and electrical upgrades. The property has had minimal emergency incidents, with only two minor water or steam leak incidents recorded, and no fire-related civilian injuries.

Routine inspections and regular maintenance work, such as stucco repairs and compliance upgrades, suggest active management. Recent 311 calls in the vicinity have primarily been for non-building related issues such as abandoned vehicles and street cleaning matters. The building's documented history shows a pattern of addressing safety concerns promptly, with all identified violations being resolved through appropriate corrective actions, though the recent mold issue indicates some continuing maintenance challenges.
