1249-1251 Scott St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The two-story, multi-family residential building at 1249-1251 Scott Street in the Western Addition, owned by Baker Places Inc, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1895. The property has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the past three decades, with substantial safety and comfort upgrades occurring in the early 1990s including the installation of a sprinkler system with fire-rated enclosures ($25,000), deck repairs, and kitchen renovations.

More recent improvements include water heater replacement in 2010, deck repairs in 2009, reroofing in 2007, and various plumbing and electrical modifications in 2011 related to kitchen exhaust systems and bathroom fixtures. The building has experienced recurring issues with exterior maintenance and debris management, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls between 2024-2025 related to garbage and debris on the property and surrounding area.

There was one registered fire alarm systems complaint in January 2016 (resolved within a week) and two smoke-related emergency responses, though neither incident resulted in injuries or confirmed fires. Recent street maintenance issues have primarily involved waste management concerns, with multiple reports of abandoned garbage and debris on the property or nearby, particularly throughout 2024. The most recent building permits on record (from 2011) suggest that while significant renovations and safety improvements have been made in the past, there has been no recorded major structural work or system upgrades in the past decade, though this may not fully represent current building conditions.
