929 Oak St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 929 Oak Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Minato Ku LLC, was constructed in 1963 and has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements over the past few decades. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018-2019, which included structural revisions and received its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC), demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements.

The building has a history of maintenance and repair work, including dry rot repair and joist reinforcement in 1998, and more recent electrical updates such as the installation of Meter Socket #3 in 2021. The property has faced some maintenance challenges, particularly related to water issues, with multiple complaints and violations recorded between 2002 and 2008 regarding water damage and damaged ceilings.

Security and safety improvements were addressed following a 2002 inspection, including the installation of gas meter instructional diagrams, entry door viewers, and gas utility shutoff tools. More recent history shows fewer building violations, with only one notable complaint in 2015 regarding lead safety during maintenance work. The building's systems and infrastructure improvements, including the soft-story retrofit and electrical upgrades, suggest ongoing investment in building safety and maintenance, though the property has experienced periodic issues with trash and sidewalk maintenance as evidenced by multiple 311 calls for general cleaning needs between 2008 and 2019.
