53-57 Haight St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 53-57 Haight Street, owned by Murphy San Francisco Ltd Pr, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant inspections and repairs over the years. Most recently, the building has faced multiple challenges with encampments in the vicinity, with six open cases reported in January 2025. The property has a documented history of fire safety system issues, with multiple complaints between 2009 and 2022 regarding alarm systems and sprinkler/standpipe systems, though all were marked as corrected.

A notable cluster of violations was recorded in 2005, including safety concerns such as the need for a gas utility shutoff tool, smoke detectors in lobbies, exit signs, stair repairs, and unobstructed egress paths, all of which were resolved by May 2005. The building's maintenance history shows periods of concern during the 1990s, with several complaints in 1996 regarding conditions such as raw splintered wood and flooring issues, and water damage concerns in the fireplace area. A soft story compliance issue was reported in 2018-2019, suggesting potential structural concerns that were eventually addressed.

The most recent routine inspection-related complaint from December 2022 involved multiple safety requirements including gas utility shutoff tools and compliance affidavits, which were abated by April 2023. The only building permit on record is from 1995 for roof work, though this permit has since expired. While the building has experienced various maintenance and safety issues over its history, most have been addressed through the inspection process, with the most pressing recent concerns being related to fire safety systems and encampments in the surrounding area.
