844 Baker St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 844 Baker Street, owned by Michelle Azevedo and constructed in 1907, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges over the years. Most notably, the building successfully completed its mandatory Soft Story retrofit program, with work completed and a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) issued, addressing seismic safety concerns that had resulted in multiple violation notices between 2017 and 2020. The building experienced structural challenges in 2005 when it sustained vehicle damage to its front corner, though this was repaired at a cost of $7,000.

Housing inspections in 2012 revealed several issues, including mold, electrical problems, and plumbing deficiencies, which were subsequently addressed. A 2017 complaint regarding a bathroom wall hole and a 2015 mold issue were also documented and resolved. More recent activity includes routine maintenance and external cleaning matters, with the most recent concerns documented in 2023 involving construction equipment temporarily blocking the sidewalk.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing violations and completing necessary repairs, including multiple street space permits and various repair works over the years. The property has generally demonstrated compliance with major housing codes, though there have been periods requiring attention to basic facilities and safety features such as fire proofing, building identification, and window repairs. Recent inspections have not indicated any active violations, suggesting an improved maintenance trajectory following the completion of critical safety upgrades.
