864 Ashbury St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story, six-unit apartment building at 864 Ashbury Street in Buena Vista Park, owned by B F Herman Iii Revoc Tr, was constructed in 1906 and is classified as a Multi-Family Residential building. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including mandatory lateral upgrades to comply with the soft-story ordinance completed in 2014 (Tier 3), and a substantial interior remodel of Unit 3 in 2019 (costing $58,000) that included kitchen renovation and bathroom reconfiguration, with all associated plumbing and electrical work successfully completed.

The building has also seen important infrastructure upgrades, such as a furnace and duct replacement in 2010, and a complete renovation of Unit 1's kitchen and bathroom facilities in 2010. The building faced multiple safety compliance issues in the early 2000s, with violations related to handrails, fire escape maintenance, fire extinguisher requirements, and security features, though all of these violations were ultimately abated in June 2019.

Historical maintenance work includes addressing dry rot issues in 1997, reroofing in 1995, and various other improvements throughout the years. Recent activity around the building has primarily involved external issues such as graffiti removal (with multiple cases reported between 2022-2024) and periodic street space permits. The property has maintained an active compliance record since addressing the 2000-2006 violations, with no recent building code violations or serious safety incidents on record.
