1390-1392 Haight St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 1390-1392 Haight Street is a three-story mixed-use building containing 5 residential units and ground-floor commercial space, owned by the Carl Edward Olson Revocable Trust and built in 1900. The building has undergone several important safety and infrastructure improvements in recent years, including a major fire alarm system upgrade in 2021 (completed) and the installation of a CO2 system in 2019 (issued). Significant commercial space improvements occurred in 2018 when the ground-floor restaurant was reclassified from "B" use to comply with current A-2 restaurant codes, with work including the addition of a second exit for safety compliance (issued).

The property experienced multiple building violations in mid-2017, particularly related to fire safety, electrical systems, and interior surfaces, though most were abated by February 2018. A recurring issue was documented regarding unauthorized use of the basement as a brewery without proper permits, which led to violations in late 2017 related to construction without proper approvals and the installation of a liquid CO2 system. The building's maintenance history reveals various infrastructure upgrades, including plumbing improvements such as new tankless water heaters and backflow devices in 2016-2019. Earlier structural issues were addressed in 2007 with dry rot repairs to rear stairs.

Recent activities in 2024-2025 have primarily involved exterior maintenance and graffiti removal. The fire safety record shows multiple alarm activations (mostly due to system malfunctions) and three documented fire incidents, including one gas leak in the vicinity, though none resulted in civilian injuries. All historical violations have either been resolved or rescinded, including fire permit violations from 2017, and recent inspections indicate compliance with current fire safety standards. The building's planning records confirm various approvals for continued restaurant/bar use and modifications to meet ADA and egress requirements, as well as for limited live performances.
