48 Haight St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The 48 Haight Street apartment building is a 3-story, 26-unit multi-family residential structure built in 1925, currently owned by Charles R Likerman & Alice. The property has undergone significant maintenance and improvement work in recent years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2015-2016 (cost: $95,000) with the addition of shear walls. Recent improvements include a $25,000 remodel of apartment #25's kitchen and bathroom completed in 2024, along with electrical rewiring and upgrades, and similar renovation work completed in other units such as #7 (2017) and #24 (2015).

The building's infrastructure has received attention with a new roof installed in 2016 (cost: $36,000) and various plumbing upgrades throughout multiple units. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues over its history, with the most significant cluster of violations occurring in 2001-2008, including problems with fire safety systems, window repairs, and garbage receptacle concerns, all of which were ultimately abated by November 2008. More recent history shows relatively few serious violations, with fire alarm system maintenance issues noted in 2017 and 2021 being promptly corrected.

Historical complaint records (1995-2004) indicate past water leakage and roof issues, but these appear to have been addressed through subsequent renovations. The property appears to have maintained compliance with current building codes, as evidenced by the completion of the soft-story retrofit program and recent unit upgrades, though there have been ongoing issues with street-level maintenance and cleanliness as reflected in multiple 311 calls in 2024. Recent fire inspection records (2021) show proper alarm system maintenance, with the most recent fire-related incidents being limited to false alarms or system malfunctions with no reported injuries.
