49-53 Jasper Pl, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-unit residential building at 49-53 Jasper Place in Telegraph Hill, owned by Karmen Mesbah Hodjati, has undergone significant maintenance and repairs over the past two decades. The 1908 flats and duplex structure has experienced recurring water damage issues, with three major water-related repairs documented between 2021 and 2023, totaling approximately $225,000 in repairs. The most recent incidents involved water damage repairs in early 2023 that included electrical work, prompting concerns about potential electrical hazards during flooding events.

The building has also faced electrical infrastructure challenges, with multiple permits showing knob-and-tube wiring replacement and electrical upgrades between 2021-2023, including installation of smoke detectors and bathroom rewiring. Historical records reveal a pattern of maintenance issues requiring attention to safety compliance, such as staircase repairs in 2008-2011 to address a Notice of Violation (NOV), and lead removal work in 2022. The building has undergone significant renovations, including bathroom and hallway improvements, and plumbing upgrades. Notable violations from 2000-2006 included issues with garbage receptacle placement, fire safety equipment, stairs, and security requirements, though all these violations were eventually abated.

More recent complaints, particularly in 2023, have centered around heating issues and routine inspections, with the most serious being a 2021 flooding incident that affected multiple units and required extensive repairs. The property has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, including debris management issues as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024, though these are primarily related to street cleaning rather than building-specific concerns. A recent fire alarm system complaint from August 2024 was found to have no merit. The building's history reflects ongoing maintenance and safety compliance efforts, with recent work focusing on updating dated systems and addressing water damage, though the recurring nature of water-related issues suggests persistent infrastructure challenges.
