607-619 Oak St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 607-619 Oak St in Hayes Valley, owned by 400 W 22 Street Corp, was built in 1906 and has undergone several significant upgrades and repairs over the past decade. Most recently, in August 2023, the building underwent comprehensive heating system improvements, including the installation of a new central heating system and removal of the old boiler, with a related November 2023 permit addressing stair/handrail replacement and common area lighting improvements.

The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (with a cost of $82,000) to enhance seismic safety, and has maintained an active record of addressing heating system issues, though recent complaints from 2023-2024 indicate recurring heating problems, with multiple active complaints filed in February 2024 regarding malfunctioning heating systems. The property has also undergone various modernization projects, including a 2019 kitchen and bathroom remodeling (valued at $55,000), 2013 re-roofing work (costing $24,800), and multiple electrical system upgrades in 2011-2012 to improve safety and code compliance, including a significant 250A service upgrade. The building's maintenance history shows attention to addressing violations and upgrading systems, though recent active complaints regarding heating systems, electrical outlets, and wall/ceiling conditions suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.

The property has passed multiple inspections and received certifications for various improvements, including the completion of soft-story retrofit work and the installation of new heating systems. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 primarily relate to street cleaning and parking issues outside the building, rather than internal building conditions. The building's permit history demonstrates a pattern of addressing environmental and safety requirements, particularly regarding heating system compliance and seismic retrofitting, though the frequency of heating-related complaints in recent years indicates this remains an area requiring ongoing attention.
