242-246 Fair Oaks St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 242-246 Fair Oaks Street property is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Ben Weil. The building has experienced several significant safety-related issues over the past two decades, including multiple fire safety violations in 2002 and 2011 that required attention to fire proofing, smoke detectors, fire extinguisher maintenance, and the central alarm system. A complaint regarding unpermitted construction work was filed in 2019, though records show this was marked as "Not Active." In 2017, there was a fire alarm system-related complaint that was promptly corrected.

Recent history shows a mix of maintenance and compliance matters. The property has undergone routine apartment house inspections (in 2002 and 2006) and had issues with illegal short-term rentals that were flagged and reportedly resolved in 2023, with the owner instructed to cease such activities and cancel pending reservations. The building has experienced two fire-related incidents - one false alarm and one contained cooking fire - neither resulting in civilian injuries.

Recent complaints indicate ongoing resident concerns, with an open noise complaint from October 2024 and various cleaning and parking-related issues in the vicinity. The building's permit history shows several "Street space" permits issued in 2010 and 2018, though these appear to be minor in nature. The property underwent two significant compliance-related efforts in 1983-1984, suggesting earlier regulatory attention to building standards. The most recent documented issue relates to a parking enforcement matter from April 2023, which was unable to be verified by responding officers.
