863 Ocean Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The 3-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 863 Ocean Avenue in the Ingleside neighborhood, owned by Crisanto & Milagros De La T Trust, was constructed in 1965 and has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade. Most notably, in 2016-2018, the building was extensively remodeled to restore its original R-2 occupancy, including the installation of new kitchens, complete unit renovations (kitchens and bathrooms in all three apartments), electrical updates, and the installation of a sprinkler monitoring system with smoke detection. The building has received regular maintenance attention, with recent work including a water main replacement in June 2024, replacement of gravity wall heaters in 2019, and multiple siding replacement projects in 2018 costing over $150,000 combined.

The property has maintained compliance with safety requirements, as evidenced by the installation of a sprinkler system and smoke detection in 2018, though there were multiple fire safety violations recorded at a different address (66 Geneva Ave) which were subsequently abated. The building's maintenance history shows attention to both interior and exterior upkeep, including waterproofing work in 2017 and routine safety inspections. Historical records indicate the building was previously used as a board and care facility before being converted back to a three-family dwelling.

There were some building code violations noted in the early 2000s (regarding doors, handrails, and windows) which were all abated by October 2000. Recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of external maintenance and addressing safety requirements, with no significant safety violations or serious complaints on record in recent years. The property has experienced some issues with graffiti and debris on the surrounding public areas as reported through 311 calls in early 2025, but these are external to the building itself and relate to street maintenance rather than building conditions.
