2832-2834 Octavia St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The two-unit residential building at 2832-2834 Octavia Street in the Cow Hollow neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by Bruce W. Hamilton and Jo Ann. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, with the most recent major work including the installation of two retrofitted replacement windows in 2020 ($8,058) and a comprehensive sewer line and house trap replacement in March 2020.

Other notable improvements include a furnace replacement in 2007, conversion to underground electrical service with two meters in 2003, and safety enhancements in 1990 including the installation of a rear pole ladder and ground floor fire sprinklers in a storage room. Historical permits show earlier renovations including structural modifications in 1985 involving the removal of interior walls and header installations, and an attempted vertical and horizontal addition in 1987 (permit expired). The property has experienced recurring issues with illegal parking, particularly with driveway access obstruction, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls throughout 2022-2023.

Between October 2022 and August 2023, there were at least ten complaints related to driveway blockage, with several resulting in citations being issued, particularly in cases involving white vehicles. While these parking violations suggest significant ongoing challenges with street parking and access to the property, it's worth noting that these incidents are external to the building itself and primarily affect vehicular access. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep of essential systems, with the most recent significant improvements focused on windows, sewer infrastructure, and heating systems, indicating ongoing investment in maintaining building systems and safety features.
