1849 Oak St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 1849 Oak St is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, owned by the Simmonite Family Living Trust. Built in 1900, the building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including the installation of a sprinkler system in 1988, a complete electrical service upgrade in 2003, and reroofing work in 2004.

The building has experienced two routine housing inspections (2002 and 2008) which identified various safety and compliance issues, including the need for self-closing exterior doors, gas meter safety requirements, and an egress obstruction, though all these violations were abated promptly. Multiple fire alarm incidents have been recorded, though none resulted in actual fires or civilian injuries.

Recent activity at the property includes several 311 calls between 2023-2025, primarily relating to street maintenance issues such as sidewalk cleaning, waste removal, and parking violations, though these are not directly related to building safety or habitability. A rear yard building extension was recently legalized through the planning process, demonstrating ongoing property improvements. The building's safety systems have generally been well-maintained, with regular updates to fire safety equipment and other systems, though it should be noted that several smoke detector activations occurred between 1998 and 2004, primarily due to malfunction or smoke scares rather than actual fires.
