1955-1959 Hayes St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-unit residential building at 1955-1959 Hayes Street, owned by Raul Arriaza, is a three-story structure built in 1912 located in the Park North neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and renovation projects over the past decades, with the most recent being a dryrot repair in 2022 involving a 18-foot section of hallway in the garage.

The building has a documented history of permit-related concerns, most notably in 2022 when multiple complaints were filed regarding unauthorized construction work and conversion of storage space into living quarters. These complaints raised safety concerns about gas fireplaces and construction practices, though some related cases were eventually marked as not active. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural integrity, including the 2013 installation of exterior Hardi board over existing siding at the rear of the building.

A noteworthy cluster of fire safety violations was recorded in 2003, with issues including obstructed egress from back wood stairs, the need for a gas utility shutoff tool, and concerns regarding emergency exiting and smoke detectors in the units - all of which were abated by July 2003. More recent complaints include an active report from September 2024 about paint chipping and an August 2024 complaint regarding unpermitted construction work. The property has also experienced various service issues typical of urban settings, including multiple reports of garbage management concerns between 2018 and 2024, though most of these cases were resolved through appropriate channels.
