385 Ivy St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The two-unit residential building at 385 Ivy Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Mark Ettefagh, has undergone significant transformations since its construction in 1908. Most notably, in 2013-2014, the property underwent a major conversion from office space back to its original two-unit residential use, which included comprehensive renovations such as new kitchens, bathrooms, and the installation of two new central furnaces, complete electrical rewiring, and plumbing updates.

This $546,165 project was followed by window replacements in 2014, when 14 damaged double-hung wood windows were upgraded to aluminum wood-clad versions. The building's recent history has seen recurring issues with street cleanliness and parking enforcement, particularly during late 2024 and early 2025, with multiple complaints regarding garbage, debris, and illegal parking. While these external factors don't directly impact the building's internal condition, they do reflect on the property's immediate surroundings.

The building has experienced three documented fire-related incidents, though none resulted in civilian injuries. Historical records show earlier maintenance work including reroofing in 1992 and some miscellaneous repairs in 1983. The property has undergone careful monitoring for unauthorized use changes, with several planning records indicating scrutiny over potential conversions between residential and office uses, culminating in the successful reversion to residential status in 2013-2014.
