637-639 Linden St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The two-unit residential building at 637-639 Linden Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Eric Fairfax, has experienced various maintenance and emergency events since its construction in 1900. The most significant building improvements occurred in 2001, including a completed horizontal addition and the replacement of a rear deck and exit ladder for the second apartment, both with substantial costs of $14,000 and $5,500 respectively.

Earlier records show a 1994 reroofing project, while a proposed front entry stairs replacement to the second floor was cancelled in 2001. The building's recent history (2024) has been marked by multiple street-related issues, particularly concerning garbage and debris, with several reports of overflowing city garbage cans and abandoned furniture.

There have also been recurring parking enforcement calls, with multiple instances of vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks, though officers were often unable to locate the problem vehicles. From a safety perspective, the fire incident records show no significant events affecting residents, with all recorded incidents being false alarms or system malfunctions, including false calls, unintended sprinkler activation, and alarm system activations, with no civilian injuries reported in any case. The combination of these two-unit residential features, historical improvements, and recent maintenance concerns paints a picture of an older building that has received some substantial upgrades over the years, though it currently faces challenges related to street-level maintenance and parking issues in the immediate vicinity.
