49-51 Telegraph Pl, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 49-51 Telegraph Place in Telegraph Hill was constructed in 1900 and is currently owned by the Baker/stanton Trust 2003. The property is undergoing significant recent improvements, with major work permitted in October 2024 including a comprehensive upper unit renovation featuring kitchen remodeling, new flooring, waterproofing work for the balcony, tile installation, railing replacement, and bathroom updates. These improvements are accompanied by electrical upgrades including a new 100-amp subpanel and plumbing work to replace the toilet in the powder room.

The building has a documented history of maintenance and improvements, including important structural work completed in 1994 involving foundation and wall reinforcement costing $64,000, though this permit ultimately expired. Between 1997-1998, several deck repairs were addressed, including dry rot repair in 1998. In September 2004, non-structural interior wall modifications and platform removal work were completed, followed by electrical modifications in December 2004 involving the relocation of switches and plugs in the kitchen and dining areas.

A significant proposed project was submitted with Planning Records to construct a two-story vertical addition and a third-floor deck, while merging the existing three units into two, though this project faced an appeal that was ultimately denied. The building's recent activity shows a focus on modernizing the upper unit with substantial investments in interior improvements and infrastructure upgrades, while the historical records demonstrate consistent attention to structural and maintenance issues. The property has generated minimal urban service calls, with only two recorded incidents since 2008: one regarding a parking issue in 2022 that could not be investigated, and another related to street cleaning in 2008.
