696 27th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The three-story, seven-unit multi-family residential building at 696 27th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Carl F & Alcira Marshall, has undergone significant structural and safety improvements since 2016. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory Tier 3 soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $30,000, which included facade modifications and the installation of new windows. Other substantial maintenance work included a complete re-roofing project in 2018 ($10,800) and stucco replacement work in 2017 ($1,000).

The building has also undergone various electrical upgrades, including the installation of a Ufer ground system in 2017. The property has a history of building code violations and complaints that were addressed and resolved. In 2000, there were multiple issues related to egress obstruction, security requirements, plumbing systems, and drains, all of which were abated by May 2000.

More recent concerns in 2005 involved unauthorized kitchen modifications and various safety requirements, including fire escape maintenance and stair repairs, which were addressed by November 2005. A potentially concerning incident occurred in September 2017 when a complaint was filed regarding possible unauthorized interior construction, though this was marked as not active. The most recent activity related to the building's maintenance and safety compliance was the issuance of a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) for the soft-story retrofit, confirming the building's compliance with seismic safety requirements. Regular maintenance issues in the vicinity have been documented through 311 calls, primarily relating to street cleaning and pavement defects, though these are external to the building itself.
