107 Brazil Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The two-unit residential building at 107 Brazil Ave in the Excelsior neighborhood, owned by Francisco Jose Gonzalez, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1915. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the years, with the most notable being a "garage conversion" situation in 2006-2007 where an illegal dwelling unit was created in the garage space, including an unauthorized kitchen and bathroom installation. This violation led to official enforcement action, with notices of violation issued in February and March 2006, and the matter was ultimately abated by February 2007 following the removal of the unauthorized improvements.

The building has undergone various legitimate improvements and maintenance work over the years, including a $10,000 exterior renovation in 2013 involving painting, stucco repair, and window replacement, as well as roof work in 2006 costing $4,500. More recent building improvements include the installation of a new hallway to the backyard in 2015 and replacement of three fire doors in the garage in 2014. The property has also been subject to multiple 311 calls regarding parking violations, with the most recent being a series of sidewalk parking complaints in 2023-2024 involving a black Nissan sedan, which resulted in multiple citations.

Recent building activity has primarily consisted of street space permits issued in 2019, while maintenance and improvement work appears to have stabilized following the resolution of the illegal unit situation. The property has experienced recurring issues with sidewalk parking violations, with multiple citations issued between 2022 and 2024, though these are external to the building and relate to street use. The building's permit and violation history suggests careful monitoring of unauthorized modifications, particularly in the garage space, though no recent violations or major compliance issues have been recorded since 2007.
