479 Fair Oaks St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 6-unit, 2-story apartment building at 479 Fair Oaks St in Noe Valley, owned by Phyllis Rodighiero, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1964. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2016 at a cost of $75,500, achieving Tier 3 compliance with a Certificate of Final Completion issued.

In 2008, the property benefited from an energy efficiency upgrade with the installation of double-pane Milgard windows, replacing the original single-pane units. The building has experienced multiple inspection and maintenance events, with the most recent being a concerning complaint in February 2023 regarding a ceiling collapse. Historical records show a cluster of violations in August 2007 related to building safety and maintenance issues, including problems with ventilation, fire escape ladders, garbage receptacle placement, the central alarm system, egress obstruction, gas meter instructions, and a sink repair.

These violations were all addressed and abated by September 2007. Earlier and later routine inspections in 2011 and early 2023 found no violations, suggesting improved maintenance oversight in recent years, despite the recent ceiling-related issue. The building also underwent reroofing work in 1995, though this permit is now expired.
