1327 9th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The three-story mixed-use building at 1327 9th Avenue, owned by Lee Shing Kit & Julie Yang, was constructed in 1909 and contains 4 residential units with ground-floor commercial space. The property has undergone several notable changes and encountered various maintenance issues over recent years. Most significantly, in 2021, the ground-floor commercial space transitioned from an acupuncture clinic (Group B occupancy) to a cheese retail business (Group M occupancy) after a $20,000 renovation.

In 2018-2019, the building faced multiple housing code violations related to peeling paint and lead hazard concerns on both interior and exterior surfaces, which were eventually abated by September 2019 following repairs to compromised wood on the east facade and paint remediation work. Recent concerns include a January 2024 complaint about peeling paint on exterior walls, which remains under review, and an earlier 2018 complaint about building disrepair including falling wood pieces. The building's maintenance history shows attention to plumbing infrastructure, with pipe replacements completed in 2019, and previous repairs have addressed individual unit issues, including bathroom repairs in 2015.

The property has experienced recurring graffiti issues in the surrounding area, with multiple reports in late 2023 through early 2024, though these primarily affected public spaces rather than the building itself. While there have been discussions about horizontal additions and various improvements over the years, some proposed permits, including a 2016 rear addition, were ultimately canceled. Recent complaints about paint conditions and recurring graffiti suggest ongoing exterior maintenance challenges, though many past violations have been successfully resolved through appropriate remediation.
