367-381 Ivy St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The three-story, 12-unit apartment building at 367-381 Ivy Street in Hayes Valley, constructed in 1907, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a serious plumbing incident in October 2024 involving flooding on the bottom floor due to backed-up pipes, which emitted a foul odor.

More recent concerns include an open sidewalk defect as of January 2025, a potentially unresolved issue with the sprinkler/standpipe system, and multiple noise complaints related to construction activity. The building has undergone several renovations over the past decade, including bathroom remodels in 2019 (units 367 and 381), a major kitchen remodel in 2015 converting unit 6 into two bedroom spaces with updated windows, and most recently, the replacement of the house trap completed in October 2024. The property has a documented history of heating and plumbing issues, with complaints about no heat in February 2022 (resolved by November 2022) and no hot water in January 2017.

Security systems have also presented challenges, as evidenced by a 2016 complaint regarding malfunctioning door buzzer systems that affected tenant access. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to structural concerns, including dry rot repair to the rear stairway in 2000 and temporary shoring work in 2014, though some issues appear to be ongoing, as indicated by recent 311 calls regarding various maintenance matters. The property has experienced multiple fire-related inspection violations over the years, with the most recent open violation issued in January 2025 related to the 2022 San Francisco Fire Code.
