553 27th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 10-unit, 3-story apartment building at 553 27th Avenue, owned by John Patrick and Sarah Healy, was constructed in 1968 and has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance activities over the years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory seismic retrofit in 2016, demonstrating compliance with updated safety requirements. Recent maintenance includes the installation of a Williams wall heater in 2020, and in 2023, there was work completed on sprinkler system servicing that had been previously cited as a violation in October 2024.

The building has a history of periodic upgrades and repairs, including bathroom renovations in units #201 and #202, addressing water damage and modernization needs. However, there were multiple fire safety violations documented in 2002, including issues with fire escapes, smoke enclosure doors, and fire proofing materials, though all these violations were abated by February 2003. More recent fire safety inspections show occasional discrepancies with sprinkler systems and fire extinguishers, though these issues have generally been corrected promptly.

The property has experienced some maintenance challenges in recent years, with the most recent complaints primarily involving noise and parking issues. There was a flooding incident reported in August 2023 that was resolved by the Public Utilities Commission. The building's parking situation has been a frequent source of complaints, with multiple reports of vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks between 2021 and 2024. The property's most recent fire safety violation in October 2024 was promptly addressed, though it indicates ongoing attention to building systems may still be required.
