482-488 Hayes St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The property at 482-488 Hayes Street is a three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building with retail space, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by the Trust B Of Buxton Family Trust. The building has undergone several notable transformations since 2012, most significantly a 2016 conversion from restaurant and bar to bar use, which involved removing the kitchen, adding a bar, ADA bathroom, and making other improvements at a cost of $160,000.

Subsequent renovations included the installation of patio heaters in 2017, multiple plumbing upgrades including new bathrooms (2013) and kitchen window replacement (2014). The building's electrical infrastructure has been progressively upgraded, with the most recent significant work being a re-wiring of the bar in 2016. The property has experienced some maintenance and safety issues over the years, with multiple complaints and violations recorded between 2008 and 2016.

These included water leaks, electrical problems, and various building code violations related to security, including the requirement for proper entry door viewers and fire extinguishers. A routine safety inspection in 2018 was conducted, and there was a carbon monoxide incident reported in 2021, though no civilian injuries were recorded. The building's most recent history shows a series of street cleanliness issues in early 2025, with multiple reports of garbage and debris, though these were primarily related to public areas outside the building rather than the building itself.
