1627-1629 Kirkwood Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The two-unit residential building at 1627-1629 Kirkwood Ave in Bayview, constructed in 1907, has a notable history of maintenance and compliance issues. Most significantly, there is an active building violation from July 2000 (complaint #200006672) that documented multiple interior and exterior problems, including issues with stairs, handrails, windows, plumbing, and interior surfaces. While some improvements were made over the years, including a complete reroofing project in December 2007 costing $7,000 and replacement of water heater flue pipes for both units, these violations remain unresolved as of October 2023.

More recently, in December 2023, permits were filed to replace rear stairs to comply with Notice of Violation #200006672. The building has also experienced some infrastructure upgrades, such as plywood roofing work completed in 2007. The property has faced various compliance challenges over the years, including unauthorized construction work in 2007, when roofing was reportedly done without proper permits, leading to complaints about trespassing and debris (though these complaints were eventually closed in 2009).

Recent 311 calls from late 2023 through early 2025 primarily concern parking violations and street cleaning issues. It's worth noting that the building's location has experienced recurring parking enforcement issues, with multiple citations for blocking driveways and double parking between late 2023 and 2024. The most recent development regarding the building's compliance status is the filing of permits in December 2023 to address concerns about rear stairs, representing an ongoing effort to resolve long-standing violations.
