1445 Oak St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 8-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1445 Oak Street in Haight Ashbury, constructed in 1912, has undergone significant maintenance and improvements over the past decade. The most recent completed work includes a comprehensive remodel of Unit 2 in April 2024 ($69,000), which encompassed kitchen and bathroom renovations, electrical updates, and new LED fixtures. The building has seen systematic updates to individual units, including recent renovations in Units 7 (2018), 3 (2017), and 6 (2014), as well as important building-wide safety upgrades such as the 2023 fire alarm system modernization to comply with SFFC requirements ($13,800) and the completed mandatory seismic retrofit program (Tier 3) that was undertaken per 2016 requirements ($60,000).

The building has experienced some historical challenges, particularly regarding heating systems, with complaints about inadequate heat recorded in 2000 and 2004, though these issues appear to have been resolved. A notable water damage incident occurred in 1995 when a bathroom ceiling collapsed due to plumbing issues from an adjacent unit, affecting multiple ceilings. The property has also maintained compliance with various building codes, including a complete electrical service upgrade (2004) and window replacement project (2015).

Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to external matters such as graffiti and abandoned vehicles, rather than building-specific issues. The building's fire safety systems have undergone regular maintenance and updates, with the last documented violation regarding the alarm system being resolved in July 2017. Two separate fire alarm incidents were recorded in 2024, though these appear to be routine system activations rather than indicators of any underlying safety concerns.
