815 Burnett Ave, San Francisco, CA 94131

The Twin Peaks multi-family residential building at 815 Burnett Ave is a two-story, five-unit structure built in 1973 and currently owned by Paul Grazioli Special Needs. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably completing its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2019 (initially cited in 2017), which included a $50,000 seismic upgrade to comply with San Francisco Building Code requirements. Recent maintenance includes a completed February 2024 project to replace the header above the second-floor fire exit door and repair surrounding framing, costing $10,000.

The building has faced various inspection and maintenance challenges, including multiple violations in 2000 related to building permit issues, lightwell/hallway/roof conditions, and ventilation concerns, though these were all abated by April 2000. In recent years, there was a fire alarm system violation issued in April 2020 that has since been abated, and a routine inspection in 2008 revealed issues with the fire alarm system, stairs, and fire extinguishers, which were subsequently addressed. Historical records show various maintenance work including deck repairs (1998), reroofing (1997), and structural repairs (1992).

A gas line extension permit was canceled in 2018, though the specific reasons are not documented in the records. The property has maintained its legal status as a multi-family residential building and has been listed as a Legacy Business (Cruisin' the Castro Walking Tours) under approved planning records. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to parking enforcement and utility issues, with no significant building-related concerns raised in the past several years.
