824 Corbett Ave, San Francisco, CA 94131

The 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 824 Corbett Ave in Twin Peaks, owned by Gaehwiler 2000 Trust and constructed in 1968, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges over the past two decades. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $100,000, addressing earthquake safety requirements. Recent safety improvements include the installation of a new fire alarm system in 2022 (costing $13,921) and the replacement of kitchen cabinets and countertops in unit #3, along with associated electrical and plumbing upgrades, completed in 2017.

The building has maintained its infrastructure with multiple utility updates, including water heater replacements in 2013 and 2014, and a furnace replacement in unit #5 in 2011. The property has experienced some code compliance issues, most notably regarding the soft-story retrofit program, which generated complaints in 2019 that were ultimately resolved by September 2021 when the work was completed and a Certificate of Final Completion was issued. Historical violations from 2003 related to fire escape and rear deck issues were also resolved.

While there have been multiple parking enforcement calls in recent years (2023-2024) regarding vehicles blocking sidewalks or driveways, these are external issues not directly related to building maintenance or safety. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, including a reroofing project in 2017 and various unit-specific improvements. The property has experienced minimal fire-related incidents, with only one minor alarm system issue recorded in 2009 that was promptly corrected.
