1042-1046 Haight St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 1042-1046 Haight Street is a three-story, multi-family residential building containing 7 units, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by the Marie T Needels-revocable living trust. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, including a complete reroofing project in 2022 costing $24,000, and substantial renovations to Unit #2 in 2021 involving kitchen relocation, bedroom addition, and associated plumbing and electrical work (total cost $30,000). In 2017-2018, major upgrades were performed including a comprehensive remodel of Unit #3 (approximately $80,500 in renovations), installation of new systems including furnace and water heater, and extensive electrical rewiring with the addition of modern appliances and safety features like smoke detectors. The building has a history of addressing safety and maintenance concerns, with all known violations from a 2007 inspection (including issues with fire safety and interior surfaces) having been resolved by 2008.

A 2010 complaint regarding unpermitted construction at the rear building loft was also closed. While there have been multiple 311 calls in recent months primarily relating to graffiti on exterior features (bike racks, poles), these are not directly related to building conditions or safety. The property has maintained compliance with housing codes, with regular routine inspections showing ongoing maintenance and upgrades to the building's systems. A 2017 investigation regarding illegal short-term rentals was closed as abated, indicating prompt response to regulatory concerns.

The building's fire safety systems have required attention, with a malfunctioning alarm system documented in 2012 and successfully resolved by 2015, though no actual fire incidents or civilian injuries have been reported. Recent activity at the building has been primarily focused on exterior maintenance and repairs, with ongoing compliance demonstrated through building permit applications and completed work. Multiple street space permits were issued in 2018, suggesting some work or activity involving the public right-of-way. The most recent building-related incidents have been routine maintenance and exterior cleaning issues, with no significant systemic problems or health/safety concerns reported. The property appears to have undergone thorough modernization over the past several years, with particular attention paid to unit renovations, system upgrades, and compliance with building codes and safety standards.
