676 Ivy St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The property at 676 Ivy Street is a two-unit, two-story building located in Hayes Valley, owned by the Lee E. Douglas Revocable Trust and constructed in 1890. The building has undergone several significant renovations and faced various safety and compliance issues over the past few years.

Most notably, in 2023, major improvement work was performed, including a kitchen and bathroom remodel in the first-floor unit, installation of recessed lighting and new electrical systems, and plumbing upgrades. This work followed several building violations from July 2022 related to fire safety and plumbing that were resolved by November 2022. A concerning incident was reported in July 2022 involving an unvented gas dryer in the basement, which posed a fire hazard, though this issue appears to have been addressed through subsequent permits. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural issues, with earlier permits for dry rot repairs in 2006 and reroofing work in 1999.

Recent activity suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts, with multiple building permits issued in 2022-2023 totaling significant investment in improvements. The property has experienced some regulatory scrutiny, as evidenced by multiple building complaints, including unpermitted work in May 2023, though these issues were typically resolved promptly. The surrounding area has seen various infrastructure and maintenance calls in 2024, primarily related to street cleaning and debris removal, but these external issues do not directly reflect on the building's condition. The property's violation history, though concerning at times, shows a pattern of prompt resolution and compliance with building codes, with no active violations as of the latest available data.
