881 Ashbury St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The four-unit multi-family residential building at 881 Ashbury Street, located in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood, is a two-story apartment structure built in 1900 currently owned by Christopher Cassimus Tr. The building's maintenance history shows several significant events, with the most concerning being a fire incident in 2009 that resulted in repairs to the front elevation siding, replacement of studs due to dry rot, and a 15-foot sill replacement.

More recent improvements include plumbing work in 2009 involving the installation of a groundwater box trap and bar sink. The property has undergone multiple renovation attempts, with recent planning records showing ambitious proposals by developer Eric Jacobs of GBA Inc. for extensive remodeling and expansion, including the addition of a Studio ADU in the basement, conversion of units, full floor remodels, and exterior improvements, though the current status is listed as "Closed - Informational." The building has experienced various maintenance and quality-of-life issues in recent years, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2021-2024.

These include recurring problems with waste receptacles (toters) being left out continuously, illegal postings, and driveway blocking incidents requiring parking enforcement. A noteworthy historical incident occurred in 1997-1998 when three units were improperly converted to a flower shop business, though this complaint is no longer active. The property has undergone several permitted improvements, including reroofing in 2002 (permit expired) and kitchen cabinet/window replacements in 1998 (permit expired), with a completed addition noted in 1999.
