1968-1972 Hayes St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1968-1972 Hayes Street in Park North, constructed in 1909, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety updates in recent years. Most notably, in 2024, the property received a new roof at a cost of $17,000, and all three front windows were replaced with wood-clad aluminum windows in December 2023. The building's heating systems were also upgraded in October 2023 with new furnaces installed in all units.

Of critical importance are two recent fire safety violations issued in November 2024 regarding sprinkler and alarm systems, which remain open as of December 2024. The building has a history of fire safety inspections and violations, including multiple alarm system issues between 2019-2024, with the most recent violations requiring corrective action for sprinkler and alarm system maintenance as of December 2024. The property has undergone various improvements and repairs over the years, including exterior painting and dry rot repairs in 2011, plumbing updates, and historical sidewalk repairs.

Several routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services have been conducted between 2001 and 2016, with most issues being promptly resolved. Recent 311 calls indicate ongoing maintenance needs in the surrounding area, including reports of garbage, debris, and infrastructure issues such as a missing side sewer vent cover and a lifted sidewalk, though these are outside the building's direct maintenance responsibilities. The property has maintained active communication with city services, as evidenced by recent interactions with the Rent Board and various municipal departments regarding housing compliance and maintenance issues.
