55-57 Fair Oaks St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit residential building at 55-57 Fair Oaks Street, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1910, currently owned by the William S Kennedy Revocable Trust. The building's maintenance history shows several significant repairs over the years, including stair dryrot repairs in 2000 (which has since expired), window repairs in 1994 and 2007, and door modifications in 1990, though some of these permits have expired without clear resolution.

The property has a concerning history of unauthorized modifications and occupancy issues, particularly regarding the basement and garage areas. Between 2013 and 2019, multiple complaints were filed about suspected illegal unit conversions, including reports of unauthorized occupants and improper use of the garage, with some complaints suggesting it was being used as a motorcycle repair shop.

In 2009, there were complaints about unpermitted construction of a deck, an in-law unit with false windows, and unauthorized electrical work for a restaurant-grade stove, though these complaints were eventually abated. More recent building maintenance has focused on exterior elements, with three cleaning-related 311 calls in 2023 and one in 2022, primarily concerning loose garbage, though these issues were resolved promptly. While the property has undergone some proper maintenance work, including window replacements and stair repairs, the history of unauthorized modifications and occupancy issues suggests ongoing challenges with building code compliance and unauthorized use of spaces, particularly in the basement and garage areas.
