634 Baker St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story multi-family residential building at 634 Baker St, owned by Liu Ke, was constructed in 1890 and contains 4 units. Recent significant improvements include a substantial renovation of Unit 3 completed in 2023, featuring a kitchen and bathroom remodel with the addition of a full bath, accompanied by electrical rewiring and plumbing updates with a combined cost of $70,000.

This follows a 2022 project in Unit 3 for kitchen counter replacement ($2,500) and a 2013 renovation of Unit 2 which included kitchen and bathroom remodeling, electrical upgrades, and various fixture installations valued at $22,000. The building has experienced several routine safety inspections over the years (2000, 2007, 2010, 2014, and 2019), with multiple violations noted, particularly in 2010 and 2014, primarily related to fire safety issues such as fire extinguisher maintenance, alarm system certification, and egress obstructions. All these violations were abated, with the most recent inspections suggesting improved compliance.

The property has seen some maintenance issues in the past year, with multiple reports of graffiti (most recently in November 2023), three parking enforcement calls regarding blocked driveways in 2023-2024, and general cleaning concerns including garbage and debris notifications. However, many of these recent issues have been promptly addressed according to case resolutions. The building's permit history demonstrates regular maintenance and upgrades, particularly focusing on unit modernization and safety improvements, indicating active property management and investment in infrastructure.
