129-131 Octavia St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The property at 129-131 Octavia St is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building located in Hayes Valley, built in 1883 and owned by Olszewski Marek & Borecki N. The building has undergone several significant repairs and improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent major work occurring in 2016 when anchor bolts and fastening plates were installed at the existing sill to brick footing at a cost of $7,500. Earlier structural work included stairway cement repairs in 2007 ($10,000) and siding and window replacement in 2004 ($13,000).

The building faced multiple violations in 2002 related to safety concerns, including issues with fire escape ladders, handrails, and gas shutoff tools, though all these violations were abated by May 2003. A notable complaint was filed in 2008 alleging unauthorized conversion from 4 to 2 units with unauthorized exterior stair construction, though this case was ultimately closed in 2012. More recently, in April 2018, there was an inspection regarding sidewalk garbage and rodent issues, though this complaint is currently listed as not active.

The building's utility infrastructure saw improvements in 2003 with the completion of undergrounding conversion work. Planning records indicate attempts to legalize a unit merger from 4 to 2 units, with one application cancelled and another closed without approval. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 show recurring issues with garbage and debris on the property grounds, though these are primarily external to the building itself and have been addressed by city services.
