605-607 Haight St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 605-607 Haight Street property is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1890, currently owned by the Shaw Family Trust. The building has undergone significant improvements over the past several decades, with the most recent notable work occurring in 2022 involving 10% front stair repairs, including replacement of rotten wood and repainting, completed at a cost of $5,000. Major renovations were performed in 2014, including foundation reinforcement and replacement of wooden posts and beams with steel members, along with the installation of an accessible bathroom and ramp, costing $140,000.

In 2015-2016, substantial interior improvements were made, including bathroom and kitchen remodels, installation of hydronic heating systems, and electrical upgrades totaling over $70,000. The property has a history of addressing structural and safety concerns, with violations related to stair and deck repairs documented in 2002 and 2010, both of which were eventually abated. A change of use application was submitted in 2016 to convert part of the building to B-3 social service use, which was associated with the Homeless Youth Alliance and subsequently withdrawn.

Recent building complaints in 2022 regarding possibly unauthorized construction work were investigated but resulted in no active violations. The building's systems have been regularly maintained and upgraded, including multiple heating system installations, electrical rewiring, and plumbing improvements, demonstrating ongoing maintenance and modernization efforts by the current ownership. The property has been subject to routine maintenance checks and violations have been addressed promptly when they occurred, including recent repairs and upgrades to maintain safety standards.
