A nuisance eviction notice filed July 24 on the 1900 block of Oak Street in Haight Ashbury is the second filing on the block in five weeks, according to DataSF records — in a neighborhood that has seen six eviction notices in the last 90 days.
An eviction notice filed July 24 on the 1900 block of Oak Street in Haight Ashbury — case M261445, recorded by the San Francisco Superior Court Housing Division — cites nuisance as its cause. This is not a non-payment case, not an owner move-in, not an Ellis Act withdrawal. The landlord's stated basis is the tenant's conduct.
Under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance, a landlord filing on nuisance grounds must name the cause on the notice, but the underlying allegations — whether noise, unauthorized occupants, property damage, or something else — do not appear in the public record. The tenant can contest the action in Housing Court.
What the data does show: the 1900 block of Oak Street appears three times in DataSF's recent eviction records. Twice on July 24 — the date of M261445 — and once on June 22, about five weeks earlier. The database does not clarify whether the June filing involves the same apartment or a different one in the same building, but two eviction actions on a single block within five weeks is a cluster worth noting.
Haight Ashbury has recorded six eviction notices in the last 90 days, according to DataSF's neighborhood-level tally. The neighborhood logged 396 service requests through 311 in the past seven days — the ordinary background of a dense residential area: encampment reports, illegal dumping calls, streetlight outages.
There are no active building permits on file for Oak Street in the city's permit database. That removes the most common construction-displacement explanation — a capital improvement project or demolition plan used to clear a unit for buildout. The M261445 record shows no demolition or capital improvement flag.
Oak Street between Divisadero and Stanyan runs along the northern edge of Buena Vista Park — Victorians, flats above garages, small apartment buildings set back from the sidewalk. Someone walking by tomorrow will see nothing on the surface that marks what's happening inside: no permit notice tape-flagged to a door, no scaffolding, no awning coming down. Just the block, looking like itself.
