46-50 Lapidge St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 46-50 Lapidge Street is a three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, currently owned by Karen Saha and Pronay Saha. The building has undergone several significant renovations and faced various compliance issues over the past two decades.

Most notably, in 2018-2019, there were concerns about illegal dwelling units and unauthorized short-term rentals, with investigations revealing possible unpermitted living spaces and high-volume short-term rental activity via Airbnb, though these violations were subsequently resolved and abated. The building experienced maintenance and safety concerns in 2011, including issues with weatherproofing, stairs, fire safety systems, and potential lead paint hazards, all of which were abated by April 2012. Recent improvements to the property include a kitchen sink removal in 2019 and various electrical and plumbing work completed in the same year.

The building's history shows significant attention to safety systems, with multiple permits for stair repairs, reroofing, and electrical work between 2004 and 2019. The property has been subject to regular maintenance and inspection requirements, including final inspections for various permits, though some earlier permits from 2011 expired without final completion. Recent municipal service calls from 2023-2024 have primarily concerned external issues such as sidewalk cleaning and parking violations, with no recent building-specific complaints or violations noted in the past few years.
