1861-1865 Laguna St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1861-1865 Laguna Street in Lower Pacific Heights has a significant history dating back to its 1890 construction. The property has undergone several major renovations, including seismic upgrades to the ground floor completed in 1999, and multiple roofing projects in 2002, 2003, and 2007.

A concerning pattern emerged in 2016 when multiple building violations were recorded, including issues with unpermitted work, though these were abated within a month. Of particular concern was a tenant complaint in April 2016 regarding rotting floorboards that posed safety hazards, suggesting potential maintenance issues. Most recently, in September 2023, two active complaints were filed regarding the building being in a potentially derelict state with damaged walls and suspended work.

The building has also experienced several mechanical system updates, including a water heater installation in 2016, though there have been no records of major system replacements in recent years. The property has had minor fire department responses for false alarms related to CO and smoke detectors, with no civilian injuries reported in these incidents. Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to exterior maintenance issues such as graffiti removal, though these are more related to street conditions than building-specific problems.
