319 27th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The three-story, six-unit apartment building at 319 27th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by T&a Lui Living Trust, was constructed in 1965 and has undergone several significant improvements in recent years to address safety and maintenance requirements. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $87,000, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety program.

Recent safety upgrades include a complete re-roofing project in 2024 ($15,000), and a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2023-2024 ($27,200) to meet current fire code requirements, including the installation of new low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas. The building has a history of addressing maintenance and safety issues, including stucco repairs in 2016 and multiple roofing repairs dating back to 1993. While there were several fire safety violations documented in 2000, including issues with combustible storage and fire proofing, these were promptly abated by January 2001.

More recent construction-related complaints have been documented, including a 2022 complaint about construction noise and an unpermitted scaffolding setup in 2016, though these issues were marked as not active. The property's only plumbing issues occurred in 2002, and there have been no recent building code violations or soft-story compliance issues since certification as complete. A pattern of parking-related complaints from 2021-2023 has been recorded, primarily involving driveway blockages and sidewalk parking, though these are external to the building's operations.
