640 Octavia St, San Francisco, CA 94102

640 Octavia Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in Hayes Valley, constructed in 1923 and currently owned by 640 Octavia LLC. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, including a recent $14,500 reroofing project in 2023, which followed a history of roofing work showing attention to building maintenance.

Major renovations were completed in 2014, including electrical service upgrades to 200 amps with five meters and panels, comprehensive plumbing work, and improvements to the storage shed including lighting, electrical outlets, and a half bathroom installation. The building has been maintained through various upgrades, including a 2008 window replacement project installing 14 double-pane insulated windows. The property has experienced some maintenance challenges, most notably a cluster of building violations in 2018 that were resolved by April 2019, which included issues with general maintenance in common areas, garage ceiling damage, fire extinguisher servicing, and excessive peeling paint in the garage area.

Earlier complaints from 2013 raised concerns about lead paint disturbance and unpermitted roofing work, while a 2012 complaint documented water damage from a roof leak in common areas. The building's history includes routine inspections and some notable complaints, such as a 2018 complaint regarding non-functional appliances and unsanitary conditions in the garage and airwell areas, though these issues have since been addressed. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes since the resolution of the violations, and recent records show regular maintenance activity, including a tenant buyout in 2017 for $10,000.
