815 Fell St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story multi-family residential building at 815 Fell Street in Hayes Valley, owned by the Jacqueline Y Tom Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1908 and contains two units. The property has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple compliance issues over the years.

Most notably, in late 2015, the building experienced unauthorized construction work that led to two complaints filed on October 22, 2015, regarding unpermitted plumbing and demolition work, including kitchen and bathroom modifications. These violations were subsequently resolved through proper permitting ($39,000 in renovations) and completed plumbing and electrical work for the kitchen and bathroom remodels, powder room installation, and water heater updates by December 2015. The building's historical maintenance record shows attention to structural elements, particularly regarding rear stairs, with repairs documented in 1987 and 1999 addressing rot damage.

A concerning issue arose in 1998-2000 regarding potential illegal rental units and safety concerns about broken stairs and kitchen damage, though these complaints were eventually resolved. More recently, there has been a recurring issue with parking enforcement, with ten complaints about blocked driveways between October 2024 and January 2025, resulting in several citations being issued, though some cases were resolved without finding a violation. The property's recent history suggests ongoing challenges with parking management in the vicinity, while ensuring compliance with building codes has been addressed through proper permits and inspections following the 2015 violations.
