1061-1065 Oak St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1061-1065 Oak Street in Hayes Valley, constructed in 1900, has undergone significant renovations and faced several challenges over the past few years. Most notably, the property experienced a concerning period of vacancy with reports of roof deterioration and windows falling out in early 2021, following allegations of Ellis Act evictions associated with a sale to current owner Josh Abby Trust.

This triggered various permit activities, including a complaint about unpermitted construction work in February 2020, which was subsequently addressed through proper permitting. Between 2021-2022, substantial improvements were completed, including comprehensive unit remodeling (kitchens, bathrooms, flooring), electrical upgrades, window replacements, and the installation of new central heating systems and tankless water heaters across all units, with associated plumbing and electrical permits totaling over $100,000 in improvements. Recent maintenance work continues to address building upkeep, with the most recent permit from March 2024 for garage door replacement and dry rot repair costing $5,900.

The building has a history of various violations from 2002-2020, primarily related to safety concerns such as stairs, egress, and storage issues, though all were properly abated. There have been multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding street cleaning and maintenance issues near the property, with some current concerns about property damage and graffiti on the sidewalk, as well as ongoing garbage debris issues. The property underwent significant renovations during 2021-2022, including comprehensive unit remodeling (kitchens, bathrooms, flooring), electrical upgrades, and the installation of new central heating systems and tankless water heaters across all units, with associated plumbing and electrical permits totaling over $100,000 in improvements.
