226-228 Haight St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The 226-228 Haight Street property is a three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in Hayes Valley, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Kurt E. Friede. The building has undergone significant renovations and safety improvements over the past decade, with the most recent major work occurring in 2021, including kitchen and bathroom remodels.

Earlier improvements include substantial bathroom and kitchen renovations in 2019 (costing $80,000), installation of a fire sprinkler monitoring system in 2017, and the addition of seven new sprinklers to the existing system in 2017, which demonstrates ongoing attention to fire safety. The building has seen regular maintenance of electrical systems, including meter and panel upgrades in 2011, and various plumbing improvements including bathroom renovations and water heater installations between 2011 and 2021. Historical records from 2002-2003 show several building violations and complaints, primarily related to safety issues such as stair repairs, fire extinguisher requirements, and security concerns, which were all addressed and abated.

There were also issues with a failing retaining wall and dry rot in the front porch during that period. Recent building activity suggests continued investment in the property, including attempts to add a dwelling unit and off-street parking, though some proposals (such as the curb cut installation) were withdrawn. The property has generated several recent noise complaints in 2024, which are currently open, though these relate to general street conditions rather than building-specific issues. Planning records indicate various improvement proposals over the years, including significant interior renovations and proposed exterior modifications, with most recent efforts focusing on kitchen and bathroom updates across multiple units.
