2157-2161 Hayes St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 2157-2161 Hayes Street in Park North, owned by Gilbert M Holmes, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. The most substantial recent work took place in 2012, when the building received a comprehensive exterior upgrade including new siding, windows, and doors on the rear facade, with a total project cost of $18,000.

The building has undergone regular maintenance and upgrades, including electrical improvements in 2003 (installation of lights, switches, plugs, and circuit breakers), a roof replacement in 1995, and rear stair replacement in 1991. A notable set of violations was documented in January 2008 during a routine housing inspection, including issues with fire extinguisher maintenance, gas utility shutoff tools, handrails on the back stairway, and gas meter instructions, all of which were abated by February 2008.

Most recently, in October 2021, a violation was issued related to the 2022 San Francisco Fire Code (with a required permit) for the adjacent address 2165-2169 Hayes Street, and there have been multiple false alarms or malfunctioning alarm system activations reported between 2018 and 2021, though none resulted in civilian injuries. The building's recent history shows no active housing violations, and most recent work has focused on external maintenance and compliance issues. The property has experienced some neighborhood challenges in 2023-2024, including several parking enforcement calls for sidewalk violations and a damaged tree incident in August 2023, though these are related to street conditions rather than the building itself.
