1889 Oak St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 4-unit multi-family residential building at 1889 Oak Street in Haight Ashbury, owned by Thomas Linehan Tr, was constructed in 1990 after several significant modifications including the installation of fire sprinklers in the garage and fire escape area, and conversion from gas furnaces to electric baseboard heating. The building has experienced recurring maintenance and safety compliance issues over the years, with the most recent interior inspections in early 2024 revealing multiple concerns including mold/mildew on walls/ceilings, the need for wall/ceiling repainting, and repairs required for a window sash frame. Previous violations from 2002 had addressed various safety requirements including fire extinguisher maintenance, gas utility shutoff tools, and egress obstructions, all of which were abated by late 2016.

The building has a documented history of fire alarm system activations, though all were determined to be due to malfunction with no fires or civilian injuries reported. Recent routine inspections have shown ongoing attention to safety systems, with the most recent requiring date tags for fire extinguishers as of February 2024. The property has experienced some infrastructure challenges as evidenced by the early 2024 complaints regarding leaks.

Outside the building itself, there have been multiple reports of street cleaning issues in the vicinity, particularly involving garbage and debris, with several incidents recorded between 2022 and 2024. While these external issues do not directly impact the building's habitability, they may affect the general neighborhood environment. The building's history suggests a pattern of regular inspections and prompt addressing of violations, though recurring maintenance issues indicate ongoing upkeep challenges.
