27-41 San Jose Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 19-unit multi-family residential building at 27-41 San Jose Ave, located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, was constructed in 1909 and includes commercial space. The property has undergone numerous renovations and improvements over the past several years, with significant work in both residential units and ground-floor commercial spaces. Most recently, in 2023, there were compliance-related improvements to a walk-in cooler and associated plumbing work, though a building complaint from November 2023 indicates possible ongoing unpermitted construction work.

The building has a history of addressing maintenance and safety issues, including a 2016-2017 period where multiple units underwent kitchen and bathroom remodels, and a 2015 sewer replacement project. The property has experienced some concerning safety and habitability issues in its recent history, including several fire safety violations in 2023 related to sleeping area requirements and fire extinguishers, though these have been largely addressed. Earlier concerns from 2006 regarding heating, smoke detectors, and building safety were resolved by March 2007.

There have been multiple instances of work being performed without proper permits, particularly in 2022, and recurring issues with building maintenance and safety requirements, including blocked exits and fire safety equipment, though most recent violations appear to be addressed. The building's recent maintenance history shows regular improvements and responses to code requirements, with several completed permits for unit upgrades and commercial space renovations. Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to external building maintenance and neighborhood issues such as graffiti and sidewalk conditions.
