579 27th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-story, four-unit apartment building at 579 27th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Ming Tom & Sally, was constructed in 1973 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most notably, in March 2016, Unit 3 received a comprehensive kitchen remodel including new cabinets, countertops, tile flooring, and updated electrical and plumbing fixtures, with a reported cost of $25,000.

This renovation included the installation of new toilets and vanities, with all work completed to meet current code compliance requirements. The building's maintenance history shows attention to the roof structure, with reroofing projects completed in 1990 and 1999, though the latter permit has expired. The building experienced a cluster of violations in June 2002, all of which were promptly addressed and abated by September 2002.

These violations included issues with back wooden stairs and decks, fire proofing requirements in the lobby ceiling, smoke detector battery requirements at the top of the stairs, and the need to remove combustible materials from the garage area. The property has been subject to regular routine inspections, including one in 2011, and has generally maintained compliance with building codes since addressing the 2002 violations. The most recent incidents related to the property have been parking issues recorded in 2019 (resulting in a citation) and November 2024 (which was unable to be investigated).
