331 Octavia St, San Francisco, CA 94102

331 Octavia Street is a three-story, 24-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1906 in the Hayes Valley neighborhood. The property has undergone numerous renovations and improvements over the past decade, with significant work completed between 2014-2021 including multiple unit remodels (Units 1, 6, 8, 12, 14, and 23) featuring kitchen and bathroom upgrades, electrical improvements, and plumbing renovations totaling approximately $210,000.

The building faced several serious issues in 2014-2015, including water intrusion problems, foundation concerns, and multiple violations related to dry rot and structural issues, which were subsequently addressed through repairs. There have been recurring fire safety concerns, with multiple violations regarding alarm systems, sprinkler/standpipe systems, and other fire code issues between 2018 and 2025, though most have been marked as corrected.

A cluster of recent building complaints from 2023-2024 suggests ongoing concerns about building maintenance, including an active complaint from December 2023 regarding common areas and a 2015 complaint about lack of resident management and interior conditions. The property has maintained an active pattern of unit improvements, with significant investments in modernizing individual apartments, though some recent fire safety violations and the active complaint about common areas in 2023 indicate that not all building systems may be maintaining equivalent standards to the individual unit improvements.
