1230 Hayes St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 12-unit, 3-story apartment building at 1230 Hayes Street, constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Oar Alamo Llc, has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple maintenance challenges over the past two decades. Most recently, in 2023, a new Laars MT2V0200 boiler system was installed, following earlier upgrades including washer-dryer installations in 2019, window replacements, and a substantial electrical service upgrade to 400 amps in 2019.

The building has experienced recurring fire safety issues, with violations cited in 2020 for extinguishers, exits/fire escapes, and earlier violations in 2018 for fire escape and exit maintenance, though all have been marked as abated. Particularly concerning is an active complaint from December 2020 regarding the building's potential status as a soft-story structure, suggesting possible seismic vulnerability.

Historical records show the building faced significant maintenance issues in 2005, including water damage, mold/mildew, and rodent problems, which were all abated by June 2008, along with corresponding building violations related to interior surfaces. Regular upgrades have been made to building systems, including a boiler replacement in 2011 and various plumbing improvements, indicating ongoing maintenance attention to critical infrastructure. Recent 311 calls primarily show issues with parking enforcement and sidewalk cleanliness, though this appears to be more related to street-level concerns than building maintenance.
