694-698 Haight St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 694-698 Haight Street is a 5-unit, 2-story mixed-use building constructed in 1900, containing both residential and commercial spaces. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, including the recent installation of disability access improvements in December 2022 with an automatic door opener.

Historical improvements include a 2013 solar panel installation (5.39 kW system) and two major window replacement projects: a cancelled 2016 renovation proposal and a completed 2013 upgrade replacing 21 windows with energy-efficient fiberglass units. The building faced serious maintenance issues in 2005, when multiple housing violations were documented, including problems with interior surfaces, electrical systems, and potential lead hazards, though these were all resolved by April 2005. The commercial portion of the property has been actively maintained and improved, with recent approvals for tattoo and alcohol (Type 41) licenses, and successful completion of various tenant improvements.

The building's fire alarm system has experienced multiple false activations between 2006-2007, though no actual fires or injuries occurred. Recent maintenance patterns show regular upkeep, with an ongoing attention to accessibility improvements. The property has generated several municipal service requests in early 2025, primarily related to public works and street cleaning, though these appear to be exterior issues not directly affecting the building's residential units.
