801 Corbett Ave, San Francisco, CA 94131

The 21-unit multi-family residential building at 801 Corbett Avenue, owned by Meh Pioneer LLC and built in 1962, has undergone significant renovations and faced several maintenance challenges over the past decade. Most recently, there was a complaint in February 2024 about insufficient hot water (measuring only 110-113 degrees), and in 2023 there were two instances of garbage and debris issues outside the building that were resolved. The property completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 at a cost of $20,000, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

The building has seen numerous unit renovations and infrastructure upgrades, including the installation of a new hot water boiler in early 2024, repairs to multiple bathrooms in 2020, and significant improvements to its fire safety systems in 2013 with replacement of alarms and detectors costing over $13,000. Several complaints regarding unauthorized work have been filed, including in 2021 and 2020, though these were subsequently resolved. In 2013-2014, the property underwent major exterior renovations including window replacements, stucco work, and deck repairs, costing approximately $530,000.

The building has maintained active management of compliance issues, with all recorded violations having been abated, though there were historical concerns about lead paint in 2013 that were addressed. The property management shows ongoing attention to major systems and safety requirements, including the recent installation of surveillance cameras throughout the building (though initially raised concerns about stability and permit compliance). A notable fire incident in 2008 affected units 11, 17, and 21, but electrical and plumbing systems were subsequently repaired or replaced. Regular maintenance and improvements are evident through various building and plumbing permits, with recent work focusing on unit upgrades and system replacements rather than addressing immediate safety concerns.
