277-279 Hickory St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The property at 277-279 Hickory Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Hayes Valley, owned by Raul and Denise Arriaza. Built in 1900, this flats and duplex-style building has recently undergone several significant improvements. Most notably, in July 2024, the rear stairs were repaired to achieve code compliance, with the work costing $6,700.

Additionally, two new water heaters were installed, along with comprehensive plumbing upgrades in January 2024 that included the replacement of multiple fixtures such as faucets, sinks, a toilet, a shower mixing valve, and angle stops. These improvements were conducted following an earlier complaint in 2021 regarding unpermitted jackhammering and saw use in the backyard. The property has experienced several issues requiring municipal attention in early January 2025, including multiple reports of garbage and debris, with six separate incidents recorded between January 6-13.

While many of these cases were resolved, they indicate some challenges with waste management in the vicinity. There were also two encampment reports filed on January 8-7, though both were marked as unable to locate. A building exterior maintenance complaint was filed on January 7, 2025, but couldn't be verified due to address validation issues. A general service request was made on January 8, 2025, which was resolved after verification that the public right-of-way was clear, though there was some connection noted with a previous complaint regarding a broken door and building violation posting.
