1375 27th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

Located in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood, 1375 27th Avenue is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1927, containing 5 units owned by the Lorda Family Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, most notably a completed soft-story retrofit in 2017 (Tier 3), which demonstrates compliance with seismic safety requirements. Major renovations in 2017-2018 included interior alterations to ground-level dwelling and laundry/storage areas, along with comprehensive electrical rewiring that upgraded lighting, switches, receptacles, and added safety features like smoke detectors.

Recent maintenance work in 2023 addressed chimney safety concerns, with the installation of new flue pipes, following two complaints in February 2023 about potential instability. The building has maintained compliance with safety requirements, though there were historical issues with the back stairs and handrails in 2001, which were resolved in early 2002 along with the installation of smoke detectors. A deposit slip from 2021 indicated the building had two illegal but nonconforming units, though recent permits suggest these have been regularized.

The property has experienced periodic street-level maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding sidewalk cleaning and parking enforcement between 2022-2023, though these are typical for urban settings. A sewer backup issue was reported and resolved in December 2022, along with several parking violations that were properly addressed through citations. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to infrastructure needs, including reroofing work in 2011 and various plumbing system upgrades.
