Initial analysis

The 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building at 149-155 27th Street in Noe Valley, owned by the Del Carlo Family Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1907. Most recently, in 2021, the property received a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodel valued at $40,000, including new appliances, fixtures, and electrical updates, though this work did generate some complaints about unpermitted construction and lead paint concerns during that period. In 2015, the garage underwent improvements with the installation of metal rollup doors, and a reroofing project was completed in 2011 at a cost of $14,350. There are notable historical compliance issues from 2006-2007 when the building faced violations related to unpermitted stair replacement work, which resulted in abatement proceedings that were eventually resolved. The property has maintained regular maintenance with historical records showing multiple roof replacements, including work completed in 1995.

Recent maintenance and compliance history shows attention to safety concerns, with the 2021 renovations including the installation of three smoke detectors among other modern updates. The building has experienced periodic issues with lead paint management, particularly notable in 2010 when multiple complaints were filed regarding improper containment during painting work. There is also a consistent pattern of parking-related complaints in the surrounding area, with numerous reports of driveway blocking between 2022 and 2024, though these are external to the building's condition and maintenance history. The property's recent permit activity and completed work suggest regular maintenance and upgrades, with the most substantial recent improvement being the 2021 kitchen and bathroom modernization project.

Risk rating

How 149-155 27Th St's risk score is calculated

Grade C — Moderate risk
