158-160 Carl St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-story multi-family residential building at 158-160 Carl Street, constructed in 1909 and currently owned by the Edward Litke Revocable Trust 1995, contains three units. The property has undergone several notable improvements over the years, with the most significant recent upgrade being the 2018 complete replacement of electrical panels for all three units, including installation of ground rods.

The building has a documented history of addressing safety concerns, including a 2010 permit to install handrails on rear stairs, smoke detectors, and self-closing doors in response to violations, all of which were subsequently abated. A 2001 inspection revealed multiple issues including inadequate lighting and lead paint concerns, all of which were addressed by June 2001. The building's maintenance record shows attention to infrastructure needs, including sidewalk repairs in 2003.

Fire safety systems have had multiple activation events, though all were determined to be either due to malfunction or unintentional activation, with no actual fires or civilian injuries reported. Recent 311 calls from 2021 to 2024 have primarily concerned street cleaning and parking issues near the property, rather than building-specific concerns. While the building's violation and complaint history shows previous safety and maintenance issues, all documented violations have been resolved, and the most recent major building systems upgrade (2018 electrical panel replacement) suggests ongoing maintenance attention.
