276-278 Douglass St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 276-278 Douglass Street, owned by Brandon Denman and Kyoko Koba, was constructed in 1910 and consists of two stories. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most pressing current concern being an active building complaint from January 2019 regarding unauthorized and unsafe reconstruction of side breezeway egress stairs. Recent structural maintenance includes minor dryrot repairs to side stairs in 2019 and a complete sewer line and house trap replacement in 2017.

Previous improvements include the installation of eight energy-efficient vinyl windows in 2009 and roofing and decking work completed in 1996. The building has experienced several compliance issues over its history, with a cluster of violations in 2003 related to fire safety and security, all of which were abated by May 2003. A concerning complaint in 2006 reported frequent fuse box failures suggesting electrical system issues, though this case was resolved relatively quickly.

The property has had recent tree-related maintenance needs, with reports of fallen and dead trees in 2024, and a sidewalk defect reported in 2022. Numerous 311 calls have been logged for the area surrounding the property in recent years, though these primarily relate to external issues such as street cleaning, graffiti, and parking enforcement rather than building-specific concerns. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to infrastructure needs, but the unresolved 2019 complaint about the stairs construction raises safety compliance concerns that would require monitoring for resolution.
