45-49 Bernard St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story multi-family residential building at 45-49 Bernard Street in Nob Hill, currently owned by the Tina M Huston Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1900 and contains three units, though some records reference a four-unit configuration. The property has undergone several significant improvements over recent years, with the most notable being a seismic upgrade project initiated in 2020 with a cost of $389,642, which includes a rear-yard addition and window modifications for fire safety compliance. This project has experienced multiple permit revisions, with the most recent filed permit in November 2024.

Other recent improvements include the legalization of an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) in 2022, and completed kitchen and bathroom remodeling work in 2021 costing $26,000. The building's infrastructure has received attention, including water heater flue pipe repairs in 2017 and electrical work in the same year. The property has a history of addressing safety and maintenance issues, particularly highlighted by a 2016 routine inspection that identified lead paint concerns, though these were resolved by 2019. Earlier violations from 2008 and 2000 were promptly addressed, including fire safety equipment maintenance and egress access requirements.

There were three complaints in July 2021 regarding unauthorized construction work, but these were quickly resolved. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to parking enforcement, with multiple citations issued in 2024 for driveway blocking. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to basic infrastructure needs, though some issues, such as medical waste and rubbish concerns, have required external intervention through city services. Planning records indicate various public record requests and approvals related to the property, particularly concerning the proposed seismic upgrade project.
