952-956 Oak St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 952-956 Oak Street in Hayes Valley, built in 1900, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past decades, with particular attention to stair safety and bathroom facilities. Most recently, in 2017, the property received a comprehensive bathroom renovation including both the remodeling of an existing bathroom and the addition of a new bathroom, along with associated electrical and plumbing work valued at $20,000. This same year also saw the replacement of an old furnace and its installation in the attic.

The building's history reveals persistent issues with exterior stairs, particularly in 2007-2015, when multiple repairs were needed due to dry rot problems affecting both front and rear stairs, with corresponding violations and complaints filed regarding safety concerns. The building underwent routine safety inspections in 2018 and 2010, and while there were significant violations noted in 2007 related to electrical systems, lead paint hazards, and various maintenance issues, these were all marked as abated by September 2013. Recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of routine street cleaning and waste management services, with several 311 calls for general cleaning and loose garbage removal between 2017 and 2024.

The most recent building-related complaint was filed in June 2024 regarding general cleaning, though this appears to be related to street conditions rather than building maintenance. Planning records confirm proper procedures were followed for stair repairs at the front facade, with contractors properly permitted through fSure Inc. The property has maintained compliance with housing codes following the resolution of historical violations, suggesting improved maintenance practices in recent years.
