2611-2615 Octavia St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 2611-2615 Octavia Street in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1900, has undergone several significant structural and safety-related interventions over its history. The most critical event occurred in 2003 when the building experienced serious foundation issues resulting from neighboring excavation work at 2617 Octavia Street, with multiple violations documented between March and July of that year regarding compromised north foundation walls.

This prompted a $20,000 foundation underpinning project, which was completed successfully, along with a separate $11,500 reroofing project in 2017. The building's safety and structural integrity have been a focus of attention since the mid-1980s, when substantial improvements were made including the installation of a basement sprinkler system in 1985, structural revisions in 1985 (though this permit expired), and the construction of a new driveway/garage alteration in 1984.

More recent maintenance activities have addressed various residential concerns, including multiple 311 calls regarding parking violations and public space maintenance between 2012 and 2024, though these are not directly related to building structural or safety concerns. The most recent building-related activity was the successful resolution of driveway obstruction issues reported in 2022 and 2023. The building has undergone regular housing inspections, with the most recent notable housing-related activity being a routine inspection in 2000 and a scheduled inspection in 2008 that noted previous violations had been addressed.
