2948-2950 Baker St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 2948-2950 Baker Street, located in the Cow Hollow neighborhood, has a documented history of unauthorized unit installations and subsequent remediation efforts. Built in 1926, this two-story flats and duplex building has undergone several significant changes over the years. Most notably, between 2000-2003, there were multiple housing complaints and violations regarding illegal dwelling units in the garage and basement, which were ultimately addressed through the removal of unauthorized structures in 2002.

A 2015 attempt to legalize an additional dwelling unit and remodel various facilities was withdrawn, though this work was later documented in planning records with a developer listed as Feng, Brandon of fICE Design Inc. The building has undergone several legitimate improvements, including a complete electrical system upgrade in 2004 with the installation of a 200-amp service and three separate meter systems. A significant roofing project was completed in 2007 at a cost of $12,500.

More recent building activity includes various street and sidewalk permits, with the most recent permit issued in 2018. Recent concerns primarily relate to parking violations, with numerous 311 calls in 2021-2022 regarding vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks, though these infractions are external to the building's structural or habitability conditions. The property's documented history shows a pattern of unauthorized modifications followed by remediation, with all major systems now appearing to be up to code as of the last available record.
