1634 Oakdale Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The two-unit residential building at 1634 Oakdale Ave in the Bayview neighborhood, owned by He Samson, was constructed in 1990 and has experienced significant unauthorized modifications in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple building code violations and ongoing compliance issues since December 2021, including an unauthorized conversion from a R3 duplex to a R2 fourplex, with particular concerns about the first-floor unit being split in half and the partial conversion of a playroom and study room into an additional unit.

The building has undergone several unauthorized modifications, including window replacements, kitchen remodels, and bathroom renovations, which led to multiple Notices of Violation (NOVs) being issued between December 2021 and January 2022. Recent permitted work includes a July 2022 project to convert existing storage space to an ADU, valued at approximately $189,542, and a completed January 2022 project for kitchen and bathroom remodeling on the third floor and window replacements. Plumbing and electrical permits were also obtained in February 2022, though these permits subsequently expired.

As of 2023, there are pending planning applications seeking to address the property's unauthorized modifications, including proposals to remove unpermitted units on the first and second floors and convert an existing unpermitted unit into an ADU. Historical records show previous compliance issues, including a 1997 complaint about broken entrance doors, maintenance issues, and pest problems, though these were resolved within a month. The property has experienced ongoing parking-related issues, as evidenced by numerous parking enforcement calls in recent years, with a particular focus on blocking driveway violations.
