794-796 Hayes St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 794-796 Hayes Street, built in 1885, has undergone several significant repairs and improvements over the past decade. Most recently, in 2022, a potentially unsafe sloping box bay window on the second floor was addressed with structural beam replacements costing $10,000, following a May 2022 violation notice.

The property has experienced recurring issues with stairs and deck structures, including a 2021 project to rebuild dry-rotted exterior stairs ($5,000), while a 2013 renovation notably involved removing an illegal garage-level unit and restoring bathroom facilities. Significant interior improvements were completed in 2014, including kitchen and bathroom remodels with associated plumbing and electrical upgrades totaling $20,000, and a 2014 violation led to the installation of smoke detectors and fire safety improvements. The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety concerns, including fireproofing repairs in 2008, although there was an incident reported in 2008 regarding blocked exits (which was corrected).

There have been multiple repair projects addressing exterior structures, including a roof deck addition in 2021 ($15,000) and various stair repairs between 2019-2021. The property has undergone routine safety inspections and has had several 311 calls in 2024 primarily related to garbage and debris issues on the street, though these are external to the building itself. Fire incident reports show no civilian injuries, and the building's history includes documentation of various maintenance and compliance issues being addressed, including electrical and plumbing work completed in conjunction with building permits.
