526 Oak St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The two-unit residential building at 526 Oak Street in Hayes Valley, constructed in 1900, has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most notably, in late 2005 through early 2006, the property received substantial kitchen and bathroom renovations including new cabinets, floors, appliances, and updated lighting, with the electrical work involving new wiring for multiple fixtures and circuits.

An earlier reroofing project was initiated in 1998 but the permit expired without clear resolution. More recently, the property has experienced recurring issues with street cleanliness, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2024 and 2025 reporting garbage, debris, and abandoned furniture near the property, though these issues were generally resolved promptly by city services.

There have been several parking-related incidents in 2024, including illegal parking and blocked driveways, indicating a potential ongoing challenge with street parking in the area. Two planning applications for converting the property into group housing for 12 persons in an RH-3 district were submitted but ultimately disapproved, suggesting the building's current configuration as a two-unit structure remains unchanged.
