2651-2653 Octavia St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The Cook Family Trust property at 2651-2653 Octavia Street in Pacific Heights is a two-unit, three-story multifamily residential building constructed in 1950. The building has undergone significant renovations and safety upgrades over recent years, most notably a substantial $400,000 horizontal and vertical addition completed in 2018, followed by the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system in 2022 (costing $37,500), new fencing work in 2022-2023, and extensive electrical and plumbing improvements throughout 2022-2023.

Recent safety improvements include the installation of a new sprinkler monitoring system and smoke detection equipment in July 2023, along with complete electrical installations for both units featuring extensive lighting and safety systems. Current planning records show a proposal under review to merge the two units into a single-family home by removing second-floor unit doors, with the owners claiming the units have not been rented since 2011.

The building's history includes two complaints filed in 2022 regarding potential unauthorized work related to height and foundation issues, though these were marked as not active. The property has experienced recurring issues with street cleanliness, as documented in multiple 311 calls between June and October 2024, though these are external to the building itself. The building underwent significant infrastructure upgrades, including new plumbing systems for multiple bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry facilities, as well as radiant heating systems, completed by 2023.
