301-303 Brazil Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The property at 301-303 Brazil Avenue in the Excelsior district is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, containing three units plus commercial space. The building's maintenance history reveals several significant events, particularly regarding structural and safety compliance. In 2016, the property faced multiple violations related to lead paint hazards, resulting in a Notice of Violation (NOV) for severely peeling paint and inadequate weatherproofing, which was ultimately abated in March 2017.

The building underwent substantial improvements in 2011-2012, including exterior siding replacement, window installations, kitchen and bathroom renovations, and the installation of four gas meters, though some permits are listed as filed or cancelled. The property has a documented history of unauthorized modifications, particularly regarding curb cuts and garage conversions. Multiple complaints from 2012-2014 addressed illegal driveway installations and garage conversions, with some permits filed for related work (including garage door replacements) but others cancelled or listed as filed without completion. In late 2024, there has been a notable pattern of parking enforcement issues, with multiple reports of vehicles parking on the sidewalk, though these have generally resulted in officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles or issuing citations.

A damaged tree report and parking-related complaints were logged in recent weeks, suggesting ongoing maintenance and parking management challenges in the vicinity. The building's recent history shows active property management, with several completed maintenance projects and responses to violations, though the number of cancelled or filed permits without completion raises some questions about historical permit compliance. Multiple 311 calls regarding parking violations and sidewalk issues in late 2024 suggest ongoing challenges with the surrounding infrastructure and parking management. A planning record also indicates a past concern about unauthorized change of use from a retail space to a church operation, though this appears to have been resolved.
