1944-1946 Baker St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building at 1944-1946 Baker Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Christopher J. Freye, has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work since its construction in 1905. The most comprehensive recent work occurred in 2013, when the building underwent extensive exterior improvements including shingle replacement, stair and deck renovations, siding upgrades, and dry rot repairs, totaling approximately $44,500.

In 2014, a concern was raised regarding the removal of a fire escape during remodeling work, though this was quickly addressed. The building has shown attention to plumbing and electrical systems, with a substantial kitchen and bathroom remodel completed in 2004 including electrical upgrades. The property experienced several maintenance challenges in the mid-2000s, including interior damage and water-related issues in 2005 that required repairs and led to lead paint notifications, though these violations were abated within a month.

More recently, there have been multiple reports of sewer issues between 2017-2020, including backups and possible root problems in the lower lateral line. The building has undergone regular safety inspections, with the most recent routine checks showing no active concerns. The property has experienced some exterior maintenance challenges, including graffiti concerns (faded) in 2016 and sidewalk tree root issues in 2018, though these were resolved. The most recent building activity recorded was an abandoned vehicle report from October 2024, which was not directly related to the building's condition or maintenance.
