3036-3038 Baker St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 3036-3038 Baker Street property is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood, built in 1934 and currently owned by Robert J. Eng and Carol Chen. The building has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple maintenance challenges over the past decade.

Most notably, between 2020-2022, there were recurring issues with water leaks and mold growth, particularly affecting the second floor and kitchen areas, which were linked to roof problems that prompted multiple housing complaints. In 2021, the property underwent a bathroom renovation project to convert a powder room into a full bathroom, including plumbing and electrical updates, which was completed and passed final inspection in February 2023. The building has a documented history of maintenance and compliance issues, including a cluster of violations in January 2017 concerning water damage, interior surface conditions, and lead paint hazards, all of which were abated by April 2017.

Earlier records show an effort to bring the building into full compliance in 1985. Fire safety concerns were noted in 2010, with violations issued under the 2007 San Francisco fire code. More recent records indicate external maintenance issues, with multiple 311 calls regarding sidewalk defects, including a collapsed sidewalk reported in 2022 and tree root lifting. The property has also experienced periodic unauthorized short-term rental complaints, though investigations found no violations based on minimum 30-day stay requirements.
