50 Laguna St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The 63-unit, 6-story apartment building at 50 Laguna Street, built in 1928 and currently owned by 16-50 Laguna I2 LLC, has undergone significant interior renovation work in recent years, with multiple units receiving kitchen and bathroom reconfigurations, including washer/dryer installations. Between 2020 and 2022, the building completed at least eight major renovation projects focusing on updating kitchens, bathrooms, and adding laundry facilities, with costs ranging from $5,000 to $55,000 per unit.

A notable recent issue is an open violation dated November 26, 2023, regarding sleeping area requirements that requires permit processing. Historical records from 2012 through 2013 show several violations primarily related to building identification, a cell site installation without proper permits, and issues with a basement garbage room constructed without the required materials and ventilation. There were also concerns in 2017 about an expired elevator permit, multiple water shutoffs, and plumbing work, though many of these issues were subsequently addressed.

Recent months (October-December 2024) have seen multiple reports of garbage and debris on the property, though most were resolved promptly. The building has had several fire-related incidents, mostly involving system malfunctions or medical assists, with no civilian injuries reported. A landmark designation proposal and ADU addition application were previously filed but have since been marked as cancelled/closed.
