1868 Page St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story, 14-unit apartment building at 1868 Page Street in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, owned by the Rosa Hong Nguyen Trust, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the years. Most recently, in April 2024, a $13,500 reroofing project was permitted. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years, including current concerns with mold (August 2022 complaint), cleaning and maintenance (October 2023 complaint about dirty common areas and broken stairs), and plumbing problems (including a bathtub drainage issue reported in January 2022).

A notable water leak incident in Unit 10 in 2022 required investigation and repairs to restore habitability. The building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 through the installation of a moment frame, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. There has been a series of fire safety violations and complaints between 2003 and 2023, including issues with the fire alarm system and blocked exits, though most have been corrected.

The property has undergone various improvements over its history, including termite work (1996), vinyl siding installation (1991), and electrical/plumbing code upgrades (1985). Three street space permits were issued between 2018-2019, and historical records show some maintenance issues in the 1990s regarding appliances and general conditions, though these were resolved. While the building has addressed many of its safety violations, recent maintenance complaints suggest ongoing concerns with building upkeep and habitability.
