514-516 Oak St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 514-516 Oak Street in Hayes Valley, constructed in 1900, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges over the past two decades. Most notably, an emergency electrical service upgrade was completed in November 2021 due to concerns about loose connections potentially causing power surges. The building's infrastructure has seen substantial attention, with a complete roof replacement in 2013 costing $11,720, a sewer line and house trap replacement in 2010, and a water heater installation in 2016.

A garage construction project was initiated in 2002 with a $20,000 permit, though subsequent permits related to this work experienced multiple renewals and one expiration before completion. Recent maintenance issues have included multiple instances of sewer-related concerns, with the most recent being a side sewer vent odor reported in March 2024. There has been a notable pattern of parking-related complaints in the vicinity, with seven documented cases of driveway blocking between March and November 2024, resulting in several citations.

The building's safety systems were addressed in 2003 with the installation of a fire alarm system and garage-related electrical improvements. A routine safety inspection in 2009 and a complaint about a steep sidewalk drop-off in 2003 were investigated and resolved. The property's maintenance history shows regular attention to infrastructure needs, though some permits, including a 2010 sidewalk repair permit and a sewer lateral replacement permit, are listed as expired. A recent building inspection request in October 2023 was deemed invalid due to active electrical permits for solar panel installation.
