984-986 Oak St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit residential building at 984-986 Oak Street in Hayes Valley, owned by the Gladys Benward Living Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900. The property has experienced several significant events over its history, most notably a substantial fire in June 2000 which required $25,000 in repairs to replace burned materials, ceilings, interior walls, sheetrock, appliances, and floor coverings. This incident was followed by permits for deck restoration and replacement work on both the first and second floors, though these permits expired.

More recently, the building has faced maintenance challenges, with a sewage back-up discharge incident from a side sewer vent reported and resolved in December 2024 being the most current infrastructure issue. The property has generated a notable number of parking enforcement calls in the summer of 2024, with multiple reports of driveway blocking incidents between July and August 2024, resulting in several citations being issued. The building's maintenance history shows some attention to electrical infrastructure, with conduit repairs completed in 2011, though no other major electrical work appears on record.

Other recent activities around the property include resolved cases of garbage and debris removal requests in 2024. Two fire department responses were recorded for non-emergency situations: a water or steam leak and assistance to an invalid, neither of which resulted in civilian injuries. The building's permit history shows minimal recent activity, with only a minor street space permit issued in February 2020.
