271-273 Paris St, San Francisco, CA 94112

The two-unit residential building at 271-273 Paris Street in Excelsior, owned by United Development Organization, is a 1905 two-story flats and duplex structure with a concerning history of violations and maintenance issues. Most notably, in 2017, there were significant complaints about mold issues, leaking ceilings, and potential water damage reported in multiple units, along with a structural safety concern regarding the front stairs that resulted in an injury.

Between 2018 and 2013, the property underwent several compliance-related projects, including the removal of unauthorized structures (demolishing an illegal laundry addition beneath the second-story porch), window replacements to address violations, and various repairs to comply with Notices of Violation (NOVs). The building has experienced recurring heating system failures, with multiple complaints about inadequate heat between 2017 and 2018, and several plumbing and electrical issues, including water temperature problems and damaged plumbing fixtures shortly before the most recent renovations.

The property underwent significant renovations in 2013, including a comprehensive bathroom and kitchen remodel, electrical rewiring, and installation of new windows to bring the building into compliance with current standards. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 indicate ongoing issues with vehicles blocking the driveway, though this appears to be related to street parking enforcement rather than building maintenance concerns. While many historical violations have been addressed through proper permits and completion of work, the building's recent history shows patterns of heating, plumbing, and security-related concerns that have required multiple interventions.
