1855 Oak St, San Francisco, CA 94117

1855 Oak Street is a two-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury neighborhood. Built in 1922 and currently owned by the Healy Family Trust, this building has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure upgrades over the past decade. Most recently, in August 2023, the building received a partial replacement of wood stairs serving as a second means of egress, completed at a cost of $10,420.

In 2019, a new fire alarm monitoring system was installed to comply with NFPA requirements, which followed a comprehensive seismic retrofit that included replacement of the fire sprinkler system in 2016. The building's electrical and plumbing systems have been substantially upgraded, with work completed in 2018 including new kitchen and bathroom installations, water heater modifications, and electrical improvements including the installation of multiple new circuits, lighting, and safety features such as smoke detectors. The property has a history of addressing maintenance and safety issues, with all building violations from 2002-2008 being resolved by April 2004, including concerns related to hot water heaters, damaged ceilings, fire safety, and gas shutoff tools.

The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofitting in compliance with San Francisco's requirements, receiving its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) for Tier 3 buildings. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street-level issues such as parking violations and sidewalk obstructions, while only one recent maintenance-related complaint was logged regarding tree roots damaging the sidewalk (2023). The building's improvement history demonstrates ongoing investment in safety and modern infrastructure, with all major violations and complaints being systematically addressed over time, particularly during the significant renovation periods of 2016-2018.
