614-616 Page St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-unit residential building at 614-616 Page Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Matthew Vernon Comber, is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900 that has undergone numerous repairs and improvements over the past several years. Most recently, in October 2024, stair repairs were initiated on the south elevation at a cost of $11,000, and work resumed on previously approved repairs to address attic dry rot issues from 2022.

Significant exterior restoration work was completed in 2022, including removal of cement shingle siding to reveal original redwood siding and repairs to paint both the front and rear facades, representing an $80,000 investment in the building's maintenance. The property has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over its recent history, with notable incidents including a 2017 complaint about heating and appliance problems, and a 2022 complaint regarding unpermitted construction work. Multiple building violations were recorded in 2008 related to safety and maintenance requirements, though all were abated by May 2008.

The building has seen significant infrastructure upgrades, including a new 200-amp electrical service and gas insert installation in 2020, and plumbing system improvements. Recent 311 calls have mostly concerned external issues such as parking violations, sidewalk maintenance, and debris removal, indicating typical urban neighborhood concerns rather than building-specific problems. The property owner has regularly addressed maintenance issues as they arise, with several permits showing ongoing commitment to maintaining and upgrading the building's systems and structures.
