37-59 Haight St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 37-59 Haight Street, built in 1900, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety events over the past decades. Most notably, there were issues with rear staircase repairs in 2004 that resulted in multiple notices of violation before being abated in April 2004. A concerning electrical safety incident occurred in July 2006 involving potentially hazardous wiring associated with unauthorized activities, though this was resolved by August 2006.

The building has shown recurring maintenance needs, including structural repairs to the deck in 1998, sheetrock replacement in 1993, and electrical work in 2006 involving the removal of temporary power cords. The property has a notable history of fire safety concerns, particularly during 2009 when there were violations related to blocked exits and operating without a permit, though these were corrected. Additional fire complaints from 2011-2019 indicate ongoing monitoring of safety conditions, with most being found to have no merit or were corrected. Housing complaints from various years reveal issues such as unfinished hardwood floors, problematic stove conditions, flooding, and an active room count dispute from 1999-2023.

The building's recent history (2024) has seen numerous reports of encampments and graffiti in the vicinity, though these are external to the building itself and have all been marked as resolved. The building's permit history shows periodic maintenance work being performed, with some permits canceled or marked as complete. Most recent complaints and service requests (from late 2024) primarily relate to street-level issues rather than problems with the building itself. While the property has experienced various safety and maintenance issues over the years, many of these have been addressed through permits and compliance processes.
