104 Baker St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 4-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building at 104 Baker Street in Haight-Ashbury, owned by Powell Devin & Schwartz Reg, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1900. Most recently, in December 2020, geogrout soil stabilization work was completed at the south property line foundation, costing $15,000. The building has seen substantial green improvements, including the installation of 7 roof-mounted solar PV modules in 2009 and a solar hot water system in 2012, demonstrating investment in sustainable infrastructure.

The property faced multiple building violations in May 2007, primarily related to fire safety and maintenance issues, including problems with egress obstruction, fire extinguisher maintenance, handrails, fire escape ladder condition, and central alarm system certification. All these violations were successfully abated by August 2007. Earlier, the building was brought into compliance with Department of Health requirements in 1986, and there was a reroofing project in 1991.

Recent maintenance concerns have included sidewalk defects in 2023, though this was addressed as part of routine city services. The building's safety systems have been generally well-maintained, with only one fire incident recorded - a carbon monoxide detector activation with no actual CO present. While recent years have seen multiple reports of graffiti (2022-2024) around the property, these have mostly been exterior issues affecting public spaces rather than the building itself, and they have been promptly addressed by city services.
