2849 Baker St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The property at 2849 Baker Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building with commercial space, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Jakie Lim Trust 2013. The building has undergone several significant updates over the years, including a complete reroofing in 2015 ($18,400), major electrical upgrades in 2003 with a 200-amp 3-phase panel replacement, and plumbing improvements in 2022 with the installation of a new main water supply for unit 2803. A notable series of violations and complaints emerged in 2011, though all were abated by September 2011, including issues with smoke detectors, electrical outlets, handrails, security locks, and sanitation concerns.

More recent maintenance includes multiple instances of sewer-related problems, with both 2022 flooding incidents and a 1998 flooding complaint indicating persistent infrastructure challenges. The building has experienced recurring issues with flooding, as evidenced by both historical complaints and recent 311 calls in December 2022. Several 311 calls in 2023-2024 have been logged, primarily related to parking issues, sidewalk blocking by merchandise, and one instance of amplified sound.

Historical permits show significant structural and safety improvements, including commercial area modifications in 2006 with ADA access improvements. The property has undergone various street space permits between 2003-2015, indicating regular management of public space usage. While the building has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the years, many historical violations have been addressed, though the persistent nature of flooding problems suggests this remains an ongoing concern.
