969-971 Oak St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit residential building at 969-971 Oak Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Harsha David Edgar, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most substantial work occurring between 2013 and 2014 when a major project was initiated to add a dwelling unit, raise the building by 36 inches, replace the foundation, and construct horizontal rear additions. This project, valued at $820,000, was later revised to include a fourth-floor vertical addition, and underwent discretionary review.

In 2021, the building received voluntary garage-level seismic strengthening, while 2023-2024 works focused on modernizing the property with the installation of multiple gas fireplaces, a new 7.92 kW solar PV system, and electrical upgrades including a new 200-amp panel with sub-panels. The building has seen consistent maintenance and upgrades to its essential systems, including a main water line upgrade in 2021, roof replacement in 2009, and various plumbing and electrical improvements. Recent electrical work in 2024 included extensive wiring for kitchen appliances and installation of dedicated circuits.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding 311 calls, with only one street cleaning issue reported and resolved in 2021. The building's permits and improvement history suggest ongoing maintenance and modernization efforts, with particular attention paid to safety improvements and system upgrades. The 2023 electrical work and 2024 fireplace installations indicate continued investment in the building's infrastructure and resident comfort.
