350 Hermann St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 350 Hermann Street in Hayes Valley is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Alan A. Heck. The building has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the past few years, with particular attention paid to safety compliance in 2021. This includes the replacement of exterior metal guardrails with wood guardrails on the entry stairway (cost $10,000), repairs to wooden steps from the lower level to the garden (cost $4,000), and the installation of a fire-rated door from the garage to the hallway.

These modifications were completed under physical inspection report CC-8440, which also led to electrical upgrades including a new meter installation and plumbing improvements with backwater devices and vacuum breakers. The building's electrical system was further enhanced in 2021, and a fire complaint from 2017 was resolved promptly within five days. Historical records show that the building underwent substantial renovations in 1996, including the conversion of ground floor storage to off-street parking and living space, as well as remodeling of the kitchen and bathroom. Earlier maintenance work includes reroofing completed in 2006.

The property has experienced several municipal service requests in recent years, primarily related to tree maintenance and sidewalk conditions, with multiple tree-related incidents reported in 2023 and 2024. Two significant tree-related issues were resolved in 2023, and there is currently an open sidewalk defect case from February 2023. The most recent municipal interaction was a Shared Spaces request in September 2024. While the building appears to be maintaining compliance with safety and maintenance requirements, the surrounding area has experienced periodic issues with tree damage, sidewalk conditions, and street cleaning needs, all of which have generally been addressed through standard municipal processes.
