1278 Page St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1278 Page Street in Haight Ashbury, owned by Robert L Emery, was constructed in 1900 and has experienced several significant maintenance events over its history. Most notably, in 2017 the building underwent foundation work at the west property line, though records show there have been several foundation-related permits since 1985, including repairs and raising of the existing foundation. The property has required various structural maintenance, including a completed dry rot repair in the rear stairway in 1992, and multiple permits related to retaining wall work in the rear yard between 1998 and 2000, though some of these permits expired without completion.

The building's safety record shows one fire-related incident involving arcing or shorted electrical equipment, though no injuries were reported. A violation related to egress obstruction was filed in 2003 and resolved within a month. The property has undergone routine housing inspections in 2003, 2008, and most recently in 2010, with only the 2003 inspection producing a violation.

Current conditions in the vicinity of the building appear to be challenging, with multiple recent 311 calls in 2024 reporting issues such as garbage and debris on the street, furniture left behind, and some graffiti incidents. While these exterior maintenance issues don't directly reflect on the building's internal conditions, they may indicate ongoing neighborhood sanitation challenges. The building's documented history shows regular maintenance and repair work has been performed, particularly related to structural elements, though some historical permits have expired without completion.
