2033-2037 Oak St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 2033-2037 Oak Street, owned by Golden Properties LLC, was constructed in 1910 and has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges over the years. Major improvements were carried out between 2008-2009, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical updates, and window replacements for units 2027, 2029, and 2031, with associated plumbing work totalling around $60,000. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, most notably dry rot problems in the laundry rooms of all units in 2009 ($22,000 repair), and a concerning sequence of events in 2008-2009 related to roof issues including a roof collapse, debris concerns, and potential mold/mildew problems. A comprehensive fire safety system was installed in 2003, with tests of fire alarm pull stations conducted in 2010.

The property has a history of interior maintenance challenges, particularly evident from a cluster of violations documented in 2000-2004, which included issues with wall and ceiling paint, window repairs, and inadequate lighting - all of which were ultimately abated. More recent building complaints from 2003-2010 addressed various concerns including sewage issues, flammable materials storage in the basement, and general maintenance problems. The building's recent history (2024) shows persistent street-level cleanliness challenges, with multiple reports of garbage and debris requiring municipal intervention, though these exterior issues do not directly impact unit habitability. The most recent building permits and inspections show no active violations or major repairs, suggesting improved maintenance practices in recent years, though the frequency of exterior cleaning interventions indicates ongoing neighborhood environmental challenges.

Recent 311 calls from 2024 have primarily related to street cleaning and debris removal, with multiple reports of garbage and sidewalk cleaning issues. These exterior maintenance issues, while frequent, relate to street and public space conditions rather than building-specific concerns. The building's historical record shows most significant habitability issues were resolved by 2004, with no major violations or complaints recorded in recent years. The property underwent substantial improvements in 2008-2009, addressing many of the maintenance issues present in the earlier 2000s, though periodic maintenance challenges continued to arise through 2010. The building's systems have been periodically updated, including electrical, plumbing, and fire safety systems, with most recent work focusing on maintenance rather than major renovations.
