297-299 Corbett Ave, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 297-299 Corbett Avenue is a 4-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1927, currently owned by Zidan LLC. The building is marked as a Tier 3 non-compliant soft-story structure, with ongoing violations filed in 2019 related to failure to complete required seismic retrofit work, despite having obtained permits in 2019 for an $80,000 retrofit project. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past 20 years, including official complaints in 2013 regarding inadequate heating systems (subsequently addressed with the installation of a wall furnace), and a 2011 incident involving bedbug infestation and heating problems.

Electrical system concerns have been persistent, with complaints in 2011 about unauthorized meter connections affecting utility bills, and in 2008 regarding hazardous wiring. Recent building permits show various maintenance work, including multiple inspections and system updates. Of particular note is a recent complaint from August 2023 regarding potential fire safety concerns in the garage area, where paints and related materials were reportedly stored.

The property has also undergone several infrastructure improvements, including gas line installations for water heaters and heating system upgrades in 2019. Historical records from the 1990s show earlier maintenance work such as reroofing and shower pan repairs, though these permits have expired. The building's history shows a pattern of addressing basic habitability requirements, particularly around heating systems, while more recent concerns focus on seismic safety compliance and periodic infrastructure maintenance.
