112-114 Haight St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building at 112-114 Haight Street in Hayes Valley, built in 1890, has experienced several significant events impacting resident safety and building integrity over the past two decades. Most notably, the building was affected by fire-related incidents in 2016 and 2017, with water damage to multiple apartments, lath and plaster, and a skylight, leading to substantial repairs costing $20,000 and electrical survey inspections.

The building's maintenance history includes addressing safety and structural issues, such as dry rot repairs in 2007, sidewalk maintenance in 2006, and multiple compliance actions in 2005 related to building code violations including fire safety, security, and electrical concerns. A detailed inspection in 2005 revealed unauthorized modifications, showing evidence of five dwelling units across three floors instead of the permitted four units over a ground floor, raising fire safety and occupancy concerns. Recent issues between 2022 and 2024 have primarily involved exterior maintenance matters, including multiple reports of graffiti, sidewalk cleaning needs, and illegal postings, with one ongoing issue regarding tree root damage to the sidewalk.

The property has been the subject of several short-term rental complaints between 2013 and 2018, citing noise and security concerns, and underwent a tenant buyout in 2017 involving two tenants for $85,000. The building's record shows patterns of code compliance issues being addressed through required permit work, though historical documentation reveals some expired permits, such as a rear stair/landing rebuild from 1996. While the property has experienced significant incidents affecting resident safety, most recent complaints relate to exterior maintenance rather than interior habitability issues, and many historical violations have been resolved through appropriate remediation actions.
