1569-1571 Oak St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 1569-1571 Oak Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood. Built in 1900 and currently owned by Pryzant Rodger & Eydie, the building has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most notably, in 2018, a voluntary soft-story retrofit was completed at a cost of $50,000 to enhance seismic safety, followed by a bathroom remodel in the same year costing $14,500. The building underwent substantial renovations in 2017, including master bathroom and kitchen remodels ($60,000) with corresponding electrical and plumbing work.

An elevator installation in 2004 was another significant upgrade, completed with proper electrical infrastructure. The building has experienced some maintenance issues in recent years, particularly related to water drainage systems. Notable incidents include complaints in 2016 regarding light-well drainage problems and water intrusion between buildings, along with flashing installation issues. These water-related concerns were documented through multiple complaints and violations but were officially abated by mid-2017. The building also underwent routine inspections in 2002, 2006, and 2008, with several violations in 2002 related to fire safety and gas utility requirements, all of which were resolved by January 2003.

More recently, infrastructure improvements include a furnace swap in 2021 (complete) and various maintenance issues documented through 311 calls, primarily relating to street conditions and parking violations. Two fire alarm incidents were recorded, but both were due to system malfunctions with no civilian injuries reported. The building's maintenance record shows regular updates and improvements over time, with particular attention to seismic safety and modernization of living spaces. While there have been periodic maintenance issues, particularly regarding water drainage systems, these have generally been addressed through proper channels and permits. The property has maintained compliance with major building codes through completed retrofits and improvements, though some historical permits from the 1980s and 1990s show as expired, their relevance appears to be minimal given the subsequent renovations.
