2742-2744 Baker St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The property at 2742-2744 Baker Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building built in 1912, currently owned by Baker & Union Partners Lp. The building has undergone significant renovations and modifications in recent years, with major work focusing on life safety improvements including the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system throughout all three floors in 2020 (costing $17,000), and a dedicated sprinkler monitoring system in 2021 (costing $4,000). Other major improvements include the installation of a three-stop residential elevator in 2021, radiant heating systems on two floors, complete plumbing repipe work in 2019, and a building-wide electrical service upgrade in 2019.

The building has been the subject of several building complaints and permits. Notably, there were multiple complaints in April 2020 regarding construction work purportedly continuing during shelter-in-place orders, and concerns about excavation work in the backyard without proper shoring leading to structural safety concerns. A significant complaint was filed in April 2021 questioning whether the building had been converted from two units to one without proper permits, which remains listed as "Not Active" in the system.

The property underwent a substantial remodeling project that included creating four full bathrooms, two kitchens, a roof deck, and skylight installation, along with excavating the rear yard to lower the first-floor level. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to parking enforcement issues on the street. According to available records, all major building systems upgrades have been completed, including comprehensive fire safety systems, modern heating, and accessibility improvements, though there were some permits that expired without noted completion (such as a radiant heat system permit from 2020 and a complete house repipe permit from 2019).
