625-629 Oak St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 625-629 Oak Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Khavul Fmly 2000 Revoc Tr, has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements since its construction in 1909. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $60,000, bringing it into compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements.

Recent inspections in September 2024 revealed multiple maintenance issues that were subsequently addressed by the end of October 2024, including window repairs, mold/mildew remediation, and dryer ventilation improvements. Historical maintenance records show attention to structural integrity, with foundation modifications implemented in 2019 and prior work including deck repairs in 2002, reroofing in 1994, and dry rot repairs in 1992. The building's safety systems have experienced some challenges, with a gas leak incident recorded (though no injuries were reported), and two false alarm incidents, one of which was due to system malfunction.

A routine inspection in 2002 identified several concerns including deck/porch repairs, gas utility shutoff tool requirements, and central alarm system certification, all of which were resolved. Recent complaints and 311 calls have often related to general building maintenance and sidewalk conditions, though most recent issues appear to have been promptly addressed. The property has maintained its residential classification throughout its history and currently meets basic building safety requirements with its soft-story retrofit designation marked as "Work Complete, CFC Issued."
