25 Baker St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-story multi-family residential building at 25 Baker Street, owned by Ramin Alizadeh & Lily Enaya, is a 4-unit structure built in 1900 in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant renovations, most notably a substantial $90,000 ground floor and basement renovation in 2007 that included converting an unoccupied basement into habitable rooms, though this work raised multiple concerns about expired permits and foundation issues with the neighboring property at 23 Baker Street. The building features modern improvements including a 6.3kW solar panel system installed in 2007-2008, though there were subsequent permit expiration issues that required follow-up inspections through 2014.

The building has experienced several safety and compliance challenges over its history, with particular attention needed during a 2016 routine safety inspection that revealed multiple fire safety concerns including the need for fire extinguishers, handrails, and carbon monoxide alarms. Earlier violations from 2000 also highlighted fire safety issues, though these were eventually abated. Recent maintenance and safety improvements have been documented, including the installation of gas fireplaces and various plumbing and electrical upgrades, though some permits required renewal and re-inspection to achieve final approval.

The property has had three documented gas-related incidents (two gas leaks and one CO detector activation) with no civilian injuries reported, suggesting ongoing monitoring of gas systems is required. Recent activity at the property and surrounding area from late 2023 to early 2024 has primarily involved street maintenance issues, including multiple reports of abandoned furniture and debris on the sidewalk, though most of these cases have been resolved. The building's renovation history includes significant investment in modern amenities and systems, though the pattern of expired permits and subsequent follow-up inspections suggests careful attention to permitting requirements will be necessary for any future work.
