826-828 Haight St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit residential building at 826-828 Haight Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Alvin and Margaret Montgomery, has undergone several significant improvements since 2012. The most recent major work was completed in 2018-2019, involving attic improvements for storage and access to the furnace, including the installation of new gas lines and a furnace, along with laundry facilities on the second floor.

Between 2012 and 2015, substantial structural work was undertaken including a foundation replacement ($45,000), front stairway replacement ($14,000), and garage girder replacement with wall improvements ($10,000). Safety enhancements were also made in 2018 with the installation of hardwired smoke detectors. The property has a history of violations and complaints from 2005, when there were concerns about unpermitted work including demolition of walls, removal of lathe and plaster, and decking modifications.

These issues, along with electrical concerns about improper wiring connections, were eventually resolved by 2012. Subsequent electrical work in 2012 addressed multiple code violations, and various permits have been completed successfully since then. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and improvements, with recent parking enforcement issues in 2024 being the only notable concern, though these are unrelated to building conditions or safety.
