1949-1953 Page St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-unit residential building at 1949-1953 Page Street in Haight Ashbury has undergone several significant renovations and improvements since its construction in 1900. Most recently, in 2023, substantial seismic strengthening work was completed on the ground floor, including the addition of plywood shear walls and concrete grade beams at a cost of $80,000.

The building experienced a notable incident in January 2019 when a fire affected a bedroom in unit 1949, leading to extended repair work and tenant displacement questions that were filed as a complaint in February 2019. Prior improvements include extensive bathroom and kitchen renovations in 2013 at both 1949 and 1953 Page Street, upgrades to building services and electrical systems, and various plumbing improvements. Historical records show that the building had multiple violations and complaints in the early 2000s, primarily regarding maintenance and safety issues, including problems with security, electrical systems, and plumbing.

A 2006 complaint about an unpermitted three-story rear deck was documented, and in 2008 there were further renovation and inspection activities. More recent maintenance issues have been documented through 311 calls in 2024, including reports of graffiti, illegal parking, and sidewalk maintenance needs, though these appear to be external to the building itself. The property has undergone regular inspections, with the last routine housing inspection noted in 2016, and recent permitting activity primarily focusing on structural and seismic improvements rather than addressing any major building code violations.
