21-23 Oakwood St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 21-23 Oakwood St, located in Mission Dolores and built in 1978, has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the past two decades. Most recently, in September 2024, a water heater replacement was permitted, following a series of substantial renovations in 2014 that included kitchen and bathroom remodeling, electrical upgrades, and plumbing improvements totaling over $28,000. The 2014 work encompassed kitchen gas line installation, bathroom renovations, and comprehensive electrical rewiring.

Earlier maintenance history shows attention to structural issues, with dry rot repairs completed in 2003 at a cost of $16,388, window replacements in 2002, and termite repairs in 1999. The building has experienced three documented cooking-related fire incidents, though none resulted in civilian injuries, and one smoke detector activation that was determined to be unintentional. A 2013 complaint about an excessively bright flood light on the building was filed but is currently listed as not active.

The surrounding area has faced various urban challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in recent years (2021-2024) regarding street cleaning, waste removal, and pavement defects, though these relate to the public space rather than the building itself. In 2022, there was an encampment-related issue reported and in 2023, there were multiple reports of waste disposal concerns near the property. While these external environmental factors exist, they are common to urban neighborhoods and do not directly reflect on the building's condition or management.
