595-597 27th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-unit residential building at 595-597 27th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Vaughn A. Brown, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1922. The building underwent significant renovations in July 2007, with comprehensive bathroom remodels in both units totaling $28,000, including the conversion of existing bathrooms into full and half-baths, installation of new light and fan combinations, and insulation of exterior walls.

This renovation period also included extensive plumbing work, with the replacement of service lines, water mains, installation of two water heaters, and complete re-coppering of the building's plumbing system. Electrical upgrades were performed concurrently, adding new lighting, switches, receptacles, and circuits as part of the bathroom improvements. Recent records from 2024 show several maintenance and infrastructure issues, with the most significant being a flooding incident on the property in May that was resolved by PUC Sewer Operations.

The building has experienced recurring street maintenance issues, including reports of garbage and debris, and multiple instances of vehicles blocking driveways, though these are primarily exterior issues rather than concerns with the building itself. There have been some unresolved landscaping matters noted in July 2024, including weeding requirements. Historical records show earlier improvements to the building, including window replacements in 1990 and some exterior maintenance work related to stucco and dry rot, though these permits have since expired.
