The property at 1787-1789 Oak St in Haight Ashbury is a three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1904. The building has undergone several significant changes over the years, including a controversial roofing project in 2001 that resulted in complaints about damage to a neighboring property and improper work practices, though this violation was eventually abated in 2002. In the early 1990s, there were multiple issues regarding unauthorized unit conversions, with a complaint in 1994 specifically about illegal three-floor apartment occupancy and subsequent legal actions regarding penalties.

More recent concerns include a 2014 incident involving inadequate heating systems and black mold in the third-floor bathroom, both of which were addressed within weeks of being reported. The building has received numerous updates and maintenance attention, including a complete electrical service upgrade in 2004, new furnace installation in 2013, and sewer line replacement in 2015. Older repairs documented in the 1980s focused on staircase safety improvements.

Recent 311 calls from late 2024 primarily relate to parking issues and sanitation matters on the surrounding streets, with several citations issued for blocked driveways. The property has had some fire safety incidents recorded, though none resulted in civilian injuries. There are open planning records regarding an appeal to legalize existing noncompliant rear stairs and deck modifications, indicating ongoing compliance review processes.
