1477 Oak St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit residential building at 1477 Oak Street in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, owned by James P. Boyd, is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1908. The property has experienced significant recent maintenance and safety issues, with two serious housing complaints filed in October 2023 regarding dangerous conditions in Unit 1 of both the rear and main buildings, including water intrusion, lack of heating, plumbing leaks, structural problems, deteriorated electrical equipment, and other hazardous issues.

These problems were documented as being present in October 2023, and while they are currently listed as "Not Active," the date of abatement is not specified. The building's history shows several permit activities, including a reroofing project from 1999, conversion from three units to two in 1983, and an electrical service upgrade to 100 amp, 1 meter system completed in 2004. Additional concerns about the property include a record from 1997 indicating possible unpermitted electrical work and unauthorized units, though this complaint was quickly abated the same day it was filed.

The property has generated multiple 311 calls in recent months, primarily relating to street and sidewalk maintenance issues, including garbage removal and signage problems, though these are related to the public space rather than the building itself. Two fire safety incidents were recorded, one for a CO detector malfunction and another for an alarm system activation, neither resulting in injuries or actual fires. The building's documented history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly evident in the recent housing complaints, though many historical permits and complaints are now several decades old.
