12 Oakwood St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 6-unit, 3-story apartment building at 12 Oakwood St in Mission Dolores, built in 1908, has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades. Most notably, in 2018, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit at a cost of $80,000, ensuring compliance with current seismic safety standards. The building has maintained an active maintenance schedule, including a complete reroofing in 2011 ($12,850), gas line installation for a fireplace in 2016, and repair work on the back stairs in 2006-2007 following multiple violations.

These violations from 2006-2007 included issues with stair safety and electrical concerns, which were addressed through proper permits and inspections. Historical violation reports from 2001 documented multiple concerns including inadequate heating, window repairs, fire safety issues, and gas utility requirements, all of which were abated by February 2001. The building's systems have shown continued attention to safety and compliance, as evidenced by the completed soft-story retrofit and various maintenance permits.

Recent activity at the property (as of 2024/2025) has primarily involved external maintenance issues such as sidewalk blocking, parking violations, and graffiti, as documented through 311 calls, though these are more related to street-level concerns than building-specific problems. The most recent fire incident recorded was for public service assistance with no civilian injuries reported. The building's current documented issues are limited to exterior maintenance matters rather than internal safety concerns, suggesting improved building management practices in recent years.
