428-430 Burnett Ave, San Francisco, CA 94131

The 20-unit, 2-story apartment building at 428-430 Burnett Ave in Twin Peaks, owned by Henry & Hedwa Greenspan Pro, has experienced various significant maintenance and safety issues since its construction in 1974. Most recently, the building has ongoing fire safety concerns, with an active violation issued in November 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements, and a filed permit in July 2024 to upgrade the fire alarm system to comply with current codes, including the installation of new system components and low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas. The property has a history of water-related problems, with multiple complaints about leaks in the parking garage and exterior lighting fixtures recorded in 2014, and ongoing pest control issues noted in 2022 regarding ant infestations.

Important past repairs include a significant fire damage restoration in Apartment #10 in 2021 (cost: $41,000), roofing work completed in 2018 ($58,800) and 2021 ($9,100), and extensive repairs in 2017 addressing dry rot, stucco issues, and window replacements (cost: $95,000). The building has faced several other safety and maintenance challenges over the years, including multiple fire safety violations, such as blocked exits (2015), sprinkler system issues (2018), and electrical system concerns (2021). A routine inspection was conducted in April 2023, and while some historical violations have been abated, several remain open or active.

The property has completed its Soft Story retrofit requirements, achieving Tier 2 compliance. Recent 311 calls in 2024 primarily relate to abandoned vehicles and parking issues, though these are not directly related to building conditions. The owners have made various infrastructure improvements over the years, including kitchen and bathroom renovations, though some permits show as expired or incomplete, and multiple fire-related violations have been issued and subsequently addressed between 2007-2023.
