628-632 Ivy St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The property at 628-632 Ivy Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in Hayes Valley, constructed in 1890 and currently owned by the Kaleen J Wong Revocable Trust. The building underwent significant modifications and compliance work between 2013 and 2018, most notably addressing a major violation case from April 2013 that involved the illegal conversion of the ground floor/basement into a third dwelling unit with unauthorized plumbing and electrical work.

This situation was resolved through a series of permits and renovations, culminating in the legalization of the third unit in 2015 (Permit #201504022691, cost: $80,000) and the complete installation of an updated fire safety system in 2016-2017 including new sprinkler heads, control panels, and monitoring systems totaling approximately $8,000. The building previously faced multiple habitability issues in 2013, including mold and mildew problems, heating unit malfunctions, wood decay on the balcony, and inadequate smoke detection systems, all of which were addressed and closed by April 2018.

Recent history of the property includes several 311 calls from late 2024 regarding encampments and street cleaning issues in the immediate vicinity, though these external matters do not directly relate to the building's condition or management. The property has maintained compliance with building codes since the resolution of its 2013 violations, with no active building violations or complaints on record as of 2023.
