627 Corbett Ave, San Francisco, CA 94114

The 7-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 627 Corbett Ave in Twin Peaks, owned by Ging S & Cynthia L Wong Rev, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance improvements since its construction in 1962. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015 (cost: $75,000) and is currently updating its fire safety features with a new fire alarm control panel and bedroom sounders in 2024 (cost: $26,057). The building has experienced recurring issues with its alarm system, with multiple complaints documented between 2006 and 2024, including three violations in 2023-2024 related to sleeping area requirements and system maintenance.

Historical maintenance work includes substantial deck repairs in 2012-2013 addressing dry rot issues (cost: $38,000 combined), two roof replacements in 1991 and 2017 (cost: $11,400), and various electrical upgrades including the recent meter relocation in 2024. The property has a documented history of fire safety violations from 2002 and 2011 that were resolved, including issues with fire-rated doors, self-closing devices, and sprinkler requirements. More recent fire system violations were noted in 2023, though some earlier violations from 2006 and 2008 were closed.

The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to structural issues, particularly regarding exterior decks, which have required multiple repairs and improvements over the years. Recent complaints primarily relate to parking enforcement matters on the surrounding street, with several documented cases of vehicles blocking driveways between 2022-2024, though these are external to the building itself and relate to street parking regulations. The property has experienced two recorded fire incidents, though neither resulted in civilian injuries, with causes listed as cooking-related and electrical equipment issues.
