1786-1790 Haight St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The Chen Family Trust B owns this three-story multi-family residential building with retail space, located in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood. Built in 1900, the 5-unit property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past two decades. Most recently, in 2019, the roof deck was repaired at a cost of $3,500.

In 2013, accessibility improvements were made to the ground-floor restaurant, including ADA-compliant renovations to the entry door and restroom facilities, along with associated plumbing and electrical work totaling over $17,000. Earlier maintenance included the replacement of deteriorated exterior wood stairs in 2006, which served as a critical second means of egress. The building experienced a series of fire safety violations in 2003, including issues with fire-resistant materials, fire escape maintenance, and garbage receptacle placement, all of which were abated by June 2003.

While there have been three fire-related complaints recorded (2005, 2017, and 2021), none have resulted in ongoing issues. The property underwent various routine inspections and work permits, including multiple street space permits and sidewalk work in 2007, suggesting regular maintenance of public access areas. The most recent activity includes several 311 calls in 2024 regarding public space issues (graffiti, garbage, and noise), though these are more related to street conditions than building-specific concerns. The property has also received approval for an ABC Type 41 license transfer, indicating some form of permitted alcohol-related business activity as part of the ground-floor retail space.
