740-742 Baker St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 740-742 Baker Street property is a three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1978 and currently owned by the Thais Darosa Revocable Living Trust. The building has experienced multiple significant maintenance and safety issues over its history, with the most concerning being a series of moisture-related problems in 2002-2005, including multiple violations for mold/mildew on walls and ceilings, water damage, and interior surface problems. Notably, there was a documented issue with water leakage and mold in 2005, which reportedly had recurred from a previous instance three years prior.

The building also faced serious safety concerns in 2004-2006, including violations for blocked fire exits, combustible storage issues, and egress obstructions, with a fire exit blockage complaint in 2004 specifically noting a dangerous situation. A possible unauthorized unit in the basement/garage was reported in 2002, though this required further investigation. The property has undergone several permitted improvements, including a kitchen remodel and reroofing work in the late 1990s.

More recently, from 2022 through 2024, there have been multiple 311 calls regarding the exterior and surrounding area, primarily related to street cleaning, graffiti, and abandoned items. The most recent building-related incident was a graffiti report in December 2024. While many of the historical violations and complaints have been resolved, their frequency and nature suggest there have been ongoing maintenance and safety challenges in the building's history. The property appears to have been mostly stable in terms of major building violations in recent years, though there have been periodic issues with street and sidewalk maintenance in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple cleaning requests between 2022-2024.
