61-63 Oakwood St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit residential building at 61-63 Oakwood Street, located in Mission Dolores, was constructed in 1988 and is currently owned by Lee Fook Nam & Kuen Chee. The property has experienced several significant events throughout its history, with the most recent being a fire alarm system violation issued in April 2023 that was resolved by May 2023. Historical fire safety concerns were particularly notable in 2017 when multiple violations were recorded for blocked exits, alarm systems, and exit maintenance, all of which were subsequently corrected. The building underwent important modifications in 2005-2006 to address violations related to unauthorized construction, including the conversion of an illegal kitchen into a laundry room and the legalization of an existing half bath on the ground floor, which had been constructed without proper permits.

A plumbing update occurred in 2016 with the replacement of a sewer trap. The property has experienced recurring illegal parking issues in the vicinity, with multiple 311 calls between 2020-2023, though these do not directly affect the building's condition or safety. A sewage backup incident was reported and resolved in May 2022, and while there have been multiple illegal parking complaints near the property, these are more related to the neighborhood than the building itself. The building's documented history reflects a pattern of addressing regulatory compliance issues, particularly regarding fire safety systems and unauthorized modifications.

The property has undergone necessary repairs and improvements over time, including sidewalk work and plumbing updates. While some fire safety violations have occurred, the records show that the building management generally addresses these issues promptly. The most recent fire alarm system violation from 2023 indicates ongoing monitoring of building safety systems, though it also suggests that maintaining compliance with safety regulations continues to require attention. The property's historical violations and complaints suggest a period of unauthorized modifications in the mid-2000s was successfully addressed through proper permitting and corrections, and subsequent records show fewer building code violations, though fire safety compliance remains an area of periodic attention.
