636-638 Cole St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit residential building at 636-638 Cole Street in Haight Ashbury, constructed in 1903, has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the past decades. Most recently, in 2020-2021, the property underwent bathroom renovations including the installation of additional toilets and sinks in both units. The building has seen regular maintenance of its roof, with reroofing work performed in 2015 and 2018, though the 2018 permit was valued significantly lower than the 2015 work.

A notable safety concern was addressed in 1996 when an emergency removal of a dangerous parapet was completed, followed by structural repairs to reinforce the wall. The property has had two major sets of renovations in 2010, including kitchen remodels in both units and significant electrical upgrades to replace ungrounded outlets, totaling approximately $56,000 in work. The building has experienced some maintenance challenges, particularly in 2009 when electrical problems were reported, including sparking sockets and issues with the rear stairs, though these violations were abated by July 2009.

Multiple plumbing improvements were completed in 2010, including chimney flue installation for water heaters and furnace, along with various valve replacements. More recently, the building has had several parking-related issues documented through 311 calls in 2021-2023, primarily involving vehicles blocking the driveway or parking on the sidewalk, though these are external issues not directly related to building condition or maintenance. The property underwent a condo conversion process as indicated in planning records, though no developer information is listed.
