2840 Octavia St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2840 Octavia Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Theodore William Rosenak Re, was constructed in 1922 and has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance events over its history. The most recent notable event was a tenant buyout in August 2024, with one tenant receiving $12,969.20. The building has received various upgrades and maintenance work, including a sewer lateral replacement in 2021 and electrical service improvements in 2003, with a reroofing project completed in 2002.

A comprehensive routine housing inspection in October 2001 revealed multiple fire safety issues, including problems with fire escapes, combustible storage, and smoke detector requirements, as well as interior surface maintenance needs; these violations were officially abated by October 2008. The property has had two significant housing inspections that triggered multiple violations, including a 2008 handrail repair issue that was promptly resolved. More recent incidents include several 311 calls regarding shared space violations (with one still open as of August 2023), sidewalk cleaning, and parking enforcement matters.

The building's most recent fire incident was a smoke or odor removal situation with no civilian injuries recorded. Recent communications with the Rent Board in February 2024 indicated changes in ownership and unit exemptions, with related housing inventory and rent increase matters being addressed. The building's maintenance history shows attention to infrastructure needs, particularly in plumbing and electrical systems, while the resolution of multiple housing inspection violations suggests responsive management to safety and habitability concerns.
