412-418 Shrader St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 412-418 Shrader Street in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Win Schachter & Frank Plaie. The building has undergone several significant modifications and repairs over recent years, notably in 2018 when major infrastructure upgrades were completed, including a 200-amp electrical service upgrade and new water heater installations, along with the separation of gas services between the main building and rear cottage. A standout achievement in 2015 was the successful legalization of the rear cottage as a dwelling unit, which had been used as such for approximately 20 years prior.

That same year, substantial structural work was performed to address dry rot issues and replace a deteriorated post in the entry vestibule, while a roofing project was also undertaken. The building's history includes several notable compliance and inspection matters, with multiple routine inspections recorded between 2003-2017, and several concerning complaints regarding unauthorized construction. Of particular note is a significant violation discovered in 2014-2015 when it was found that all dwelling units in the two buildings (including 412 and 414 Shrader) had been converted to tourist hotel rooms without proper approvals, with a website indicating 16 guest rooms despite no exterior signage for the inn operation. The property has also experienced recurring issues with parking violations in the vicinity, as evidenced by multiple citations for blocking driveways between 2020-2024, though these are external to the building itself.

Recent complaints from 2020-2023 indicate typical urban challenges including graffiti, sidewalk blockages, and general street maintenance issues, which have all been addressed through proper channels. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and upgrading of systems, with most recent work focusing on modernizing utilities and addressing structural maintenance needs. While there have been several code compliance matters over the years, records indicate that these issues have typically been addressed through proper channels, though some permits have been cancelled during processing (notably a 2015 rear structure conversion permit and a 2013 occupancy establishment permit). The property is currently classified as a multi-family residential building and is in active use, with the most recent major work focusing on utility upgrades in 2018.
