1401-1407 Baker St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The property at 1401-1407 Baker St is a 4-unit multi-family residential building located in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by the James & Susan Kim Revocable Living Trust. Built in 1900, this 1-story flat with store space has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with its stairways and decks.

The most recent significant repair work occurred in 2016, addressing dry rot in the rear stairway and deck at a cost of $4,000, following earlier repairs in 2008 (also at the rear) and 2002 (including Unit 1407). The building underwent a comprehensive routine inspection in 2002 that revealed multiple violations requiring attention, including fire safety issues, egress obstructions, and security concerns, all of which were resolved by October 2002.

Recent history shows recurring fire alarm system activations, though none resulted in fires or injuries, with the last documented incident being a carbon monoxide detector activation in 2020. The building's most recent notable issue has been the accumulation of garbage and debris, with multiple 311 calls in January 2025 regarding overflowing city garbage cans along the street. Additionally, a recent complaint regarding signage and blight abatement was submitted in 2023, though its current status is listed as "Submitted." While the building has a history of maintenance issues and regulatory compliance requirements, most violations appear to have been addressed promptly when identified, particularly during routine inspections.
