433-437 Brazil Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The three-unit residential building at 433-437 Brazil Avenue in San Francisco's Excelsior neighborhood was constructed in 1916 and is owned by Chen Jun and Lu Mei Hua. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and safety updates over the years, with a notable permit from 2006 for replacing damaged rear stairs (second egress) at a cost of $8,000, and a 1995 permit to legalize the garage following a possible illegal unit complaint from 1995.

The building has been subject to multiple routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services between 1999 and 2011, during which various safety concerns were identified and subsequently addressed, including fire safety violations, stair repairs, and handrail installations. The most recent inspection-related issues, documented in 2011, involved water heater strapping and basement stair handrail requirements, both of which were resolved by July 2011. In recent months, the property has experienced recurring issues with sidewalk parking violations, particularly between November 2023 and August 2024, with multiple citations issued to various vehicles, including frequent violations by a Lexus ES300 and an Infinity.

There was also a garbage and debris complaint resolved in October 2024. The building has maintained an active record of addressing violations and complaints, with most issues being resolved through appropriate permits or abatement actions. While there have been various safety concerns documented over the years, records indicate that these violations were generally addressed in a timely manner, with no active building violations currently on record.
