825 Burnett Ave, San Francisco, CA 94131

The 12-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 825 Burnett Avenue in Twin Peaks, built in 1961 and owned by Peter J Susnow Tr, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges over the years. Most recently, in April 2023, building inspectors identified multiple active violations related to safety and maintenance, including issues with carbon monoxide and smoke alarms, fire escape drop ladders, lead paint hazards, general interior surface conditions, and structural maintenance requirements. The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit work in 2017, which cost $50,000 and brought the property into compliance with seismic safety standards.

Recent maintenance includes a substantial $100,000 reroofing project initiated in April 2023, demonstrating investment in the building's infrastructure. The property has a history of various maintenance and safety-related complaints, though many have been resolved over time. Notable past issues included reports of unsecured doors and window leaks in 2004-2005, heating system problems in 2006, and multiple fire safety-related violations in 2003. Fire safety systems have generally been maintained, with recent fire complaints in 2023 (no merit), 2020 (corrected condition), and 2017 (corrected condition) showing attention to fire safety infrastructure.

The building has experienced typical urban challenges such as occasional parking violations and infrastructure maintenance issues, including a sewage backup in 2017 and streetlight problems in 2017, both of which were resolved. The property has undergone various unit-specific improvements, including window replacements in Units #7 and #8 in 2013, which followed proper building codes and energy efficiency standards. Historical records show multiple roofing projects dating back to 1993 and 2000, indicating regular maintenance of this critical building component. The building's age and location in San Francisco's Twin Peaks neighborhood suggest it has faced typical urban maintenance challenges, but the most recent active violations from 2023 indicate there are currently outstanding maintenance and safety concerns that require attention.
