118-120 Haight St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 118-120 Haight Street, located in Hayes Valley, was built in 1890 and has experienced several significant events over its history, with the most critical being a fire incident in September 2016 that caused damage requiring extensive remediation work throughout 2017. This fire led to the replacement of wood shingles on the front facade and roof, as well as electrical system restoration including a new sub-panel and rewiring in the bathroom. The building underwent multiple repairs to address the fire damage, with permits totaling approximately $51,000.

Prior to the fire, in 2016, several maintenance issues were documented including concerns about gaps in floors, insulation problems, and window seal failures, as well as multiple violations in common areas. The building had a history of violations dating back to 2001-2005 related to fire safety and unauthorized construction work, though these were resolved at that time. Most recently, there have been some infrastructure concerns noted in early 2024, including sewage backup issues that were addressed by the Public Utilities Commission.

The property has also experienced an increase in external maintenance issues in 2024, with multiple reports of graffiti and street cleaning needs, though these do not directly impact the building's interior conditions. Additionally, there was a tenant buyout recorded at 120 Haight Street for $20,000 in December 2017. The building's most recent documented issue was a fire safety concern in 2017 regarding potentially illegal paint materials and unlicensed work, though this complaint was marked as not active.
