831 Brazil Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

831 Brazil Avenue is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in the Excelsior neighborhood. Built in 1962 and currently owned by Tam Family Trust, the building has undergone several significant maintenance projects over the years, most notably a 2021 reroofing project costing $17,500, and a substantial restoration in 2009 following fire damage to units #1 and #3, which included window replacement, kitchen remodeling, and comprehensive electrical and plumbing work totaling $15,000.

The building has a documented history of fire safety concerns, with multiple violations reported in 2000 and 2014 related to fire escapes, fire extinguishers, and combustible storage, though these issues were all officially abated by January 2001. The property has undergone regular routine housing inspections over the years, with records showing consistent oversight by Housing Inspection Services.

A vacancy was reported in December 2018, and several building-related complaints have been logged between 2000 and 2018, including issues with peeling paint and weatherproofing. More recently, there have been multiple 311 calls from late 2024 to early 2025 regarding the surrounding area, primarily related to garbage and debris issues, with some cases still open as of January 2025. The building's maintenance history shows attention to major systems like roofing and fire safety, though the frequency of violations in the 2000-2014 period suggests there were periods requiring significant attention to safety compliance.
