759-761 Oak St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-family residential building at 759-761 Oak Street, owned by Pascal P Finnerty and located in the Hayes Valley neighborhood, is a two-story structure built in 1900. The property has a history of structural modifications and compliance issues, with several permits dating back to 1997-1998 for significant work including chimney repairs, foundation work, and garage installation, though these permits ultimately expired without final inspections.

Notably, from 2001 there were violations regarding expired permits and unauthorized construction of a rear deck, which remain on record until finally abated in 2012. Recent activity includes a filed permit in September 2024 to convert existing rear storage into an ADU and rehabilitate an existing bathroom, with associated planning records under review to comply with an enforcement case regarding the legalization of an illegal Dwelling Unit (UDU) on the ground floor. The property has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, with complaints in 2001 about sewage overflows, plumbing problems, and temperature control issues, though these were resolved within weeks.

Recent history shows the building has faced ongoing maintenance and compliance matters, with 311 calls in 2023-2024 related to parking violations, sidewalk cleaning, and a missing side sewer vent cover. The property's current status includes an open planning case from 2023 regarding the legalization of an UDU, which has led to the recent permit application for ADU conversion. The building's documented history spans multiple decades, showing patterns of both authorized improvements and unauthorized modifications, along with periodic maintenance challenges.
