441-447 Hickory St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The 4-unit, 2-story apartment building at 441-447 Hickory Street in Hayes Valley, owned by the Marc B Schenker Family Trust, was constructed in 1912. The property has undergone several significant repairs and improvements, with the most notable work occurring in 2008 when multiple permits were issued to address garage ceiling repairs with approved fire-rated materials, following a Notice of Violation.

Earlier, in 2006, there were substantial repairs to the building's staircase and landings, including the replacement of a second means of egress stairs, as well as repairs to address rotted posts, stringers, decking, and steps. The building has undergone multiple routine safety inspections, with significant fire safety issues identified in 2011, including the need for fire extinguisher servicing and smoke detector installation at enclosed stair tops. In 2008, the building required various safety improvements, including fire extinguisher installation and fire-proofing repairs.

More recently, there have been documented issues with the immediate surroundings of the building, including multiple reports of garbage and debris on the street and sidewalk in October 2024, with some incidents involving human waste that required resolution by city services. Two carbon monoxide-related incidents were recorded, one being a detector activation with no CO detected and the other being an actual CO incident, though fortunately no civilian injuries were reported in either case. The property has three documented routine safety inspections on record, from 2000, 2008, and 2011, with all violations subsequently addressed and abated.
