988-998 Oak St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 8-unit multi-family residential building at 988-998 Oak Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Haramis Tust, was constructed in 1900 and consists of 3 stories. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being a completed soft-story retrofit (classified as Tier 4) that was performed in 2018-2019, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Recent maintenance work has focused on addressing heating issues, with an active complaint from January 2025 reporting lack of heat, non-code-compliant plastic windows in the front bay, and bathtub deterioration.

The building has a documented history of electrical work, including repairs following a fire incident in 2008 that affected unit #996, where damage included electrical lighting and heating systems, though this work was completed and the violation was closed. The building's history reveals several concerning periods between 2003 and 2008, including multiple housing code violations related to heating systems, electrical outlets, ventilation, and various maintenance issues. A significant fire incident occurred in January 2008, resulting in documented damage that required substantial electrical repairs.

The property has also experienced recurring heating system problems, most recently indicated by a December 2024 complaint. While many past violations have been resolved, the recent heating issues raise ongoing maintenance concerns. The building has completed necessary seismic retrofitting work and undergone routine safety inspections, though the recurring nature of heating problems and recent complaints about window and bathroom conditions suggest ongoing maintenance challenges remain. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to exterior issues such as graffiti and parking concerns, rather than building-specific problems.
