Initial analysis

The property at 62-64 Baker Street is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, built in 1904 and currently owned by Parks Allen D. The building has experienced numerous ongoing maintenance and safety issues, with several active building violations as of 2023, including concerns about weather-proofing, lead paint hazards, window sealing, heating system functionality, and electrical outlet problems. Particularly concerning is the condition of the back stairs, which have been reported as rotted and in complete disrepair, along with allegations of an illegal ground-floor unit. The building's maintenance history shows some improvements over the years, including electrical system upgrades in 2020 (installation of 100 amp 2-meter service), plumbing repairs in 2015, and various window installations in the 1980s. However, more recent maintenance issues have persisted, with a series of building complaints filed between 2015 and 2023 regarding structural problems, heating system failures, plumbing issues, and safety concerns. The property has also faced multiple external maintenance challenges, including graffiti incidents and illegal postings, with several cases still open as of 2024.

The building's permit history includes a reroofing project from 1996, though this permit has since expired. Recent tenant complaints filed in late 2023 (December) document numerous safety and maintenance concerns, including non-functioning heating systems, electrical problems, and deteriorating building features. The property has a documented history of plumbing issues, including a significant complaint about a broken waste pipe in 2015 that allegedly caused flooding. Outside the building's immediate structure, there have been various 311 calls related to graffiti and illegal parking around the property, with most cases being resolved through normal city processes. The most serious concerns currently facing the property relate to building safety and habitability issues, as evidenced by multiple active violations with a scheduled director's hearing on July 25, 2024, regarding weather-proofing, lead paint, heating systems, and electrical problems.

Risk rating

How 62-64 Baker St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

2026
Planning Record Jan 06
Add new garage at front façade. Excavate ground floor to achieve minimum headroom. Remodel levels 2 and 3. Construct fourth-story vertical addition and new roof deck. The proposed scope is to renovate a deteriorated two-unit, 2 story Victorian at 62-64 Baker Street in order to provide flexible living for multi-generational families or shared ownership. The ground floor will be converted to conditioned space for Unit 64 (currently the second level). The attic will be incorporated into Unit 62, creating a two-story dwelling across the top two floors. The lower unit will be owner-occupied and the top unit will be rented. In addition to these two added stories, the scope includes foundation repair and restoration of historic detailing at the front facade.
