The three-story multi-family residential building at 1021-1029 Oak Street in Hayes Valley, built in 1900 and currently owned by Lon Hardeman, has undergone significant maintenance and safety upgrades over recent years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in March 2018 at a cost of $30,000, achieving compliance with the San Francisco Building Code's earthquake safety requirements, and received its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC).

Recent maintenance work includes addressing water leaks and bathroom repairs in November 2023 ($10,000) and dry rot repairs in December 2023 ($4,000), demonstrating ongoing attention to building upkeep. The building's history includes several notable improvements and compliance issues. A new flat roof was installed in 2017 ($11,400), and the building's gas line was relocated by PG&E in 2014.

In the early 2000s, the property faced multiple violations related to security and fire safety, including handrail issues and fire escape maintenance, though these were all abated by 2004. More recently, there have been recurring issues with bicycle lane blocking in the vicinity of the property, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2022 and 2024, and one instance of a collapsed sidewalk related to a utility vault in 2022, which was resolved. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to structural and safety requirements, with the most recent work focusing on preserving critical building elements like stairs and addressing water-related issues.
