1431 Baker St, San Francisco, CA 94115

1431 Baker Street is a 2-unit multi-family residential building located in Lower Pacific Heights, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by "Oh Alice." The property has undergone significant improvements and maintenance work in recent years, with the most notable recent upgrade being the replacement of 6 street-facing windows with energy-efficient retrofits in 2021 (cost: $10,000). Between 2016-2017, the building received substantial renovations including a complete re-wiring project to replace knob-and-tube wiring, installation of modern electrical systems (including two 120A circuits for furnaces), kitchen renovations in Unit A (new cabinets, sink, and electrical work), garage door replacements, and re-roofing work.

The building's safety systems have been tested with three documented incidents: a malfunctioning alarm system, a water evacuation, and a carbon monoxide detector activation, all of which resulted in no injuries. The neighborhood surrounding 1431 Baker Street has experienced recurring issues with tree maintenance, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2023-2024 regarding fallen trees and landscaping concerns, with one open case still under investigation as of October 2023.

There have been several recent incidents of garbage and debris on the streets near the property, particularly in mid-2024, which required multiple interventions from city services. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep by the current owners, with no documented building code complaints or other major structural issues since the 1990s foundation work. A tenant buyout occurred at a nearby address (1449 Baker Street) in October 2017 involving three tenants and a payment of $20,000, though this is not directly related to the current building's history.
