1524–1528 Haight Street
Haight Ashbury · San Francisco, CA 94117
One parcel running 1524 to 1528 Haight, between Ashbury and Clayton: flats above a ground-floor shop. A published guide to notable residences lists it as a Jimi Hendrix address and then undercuts itself, saying newer research points to a stay of a few months, if any.
Permit history
Twenty permits, 1975–2026. The 1980s run is a code-enforcement sequence at the store and the flat behind it, closed out on a single day in September 1991; everything since is shopfitting and maintenance.

The oldest record on file, created when paper job cards were converted. No scope was carried over.
Not yet documented: the architect and builder; how many storeys the building actually has, since the assessor records none and a 1988 permit legalised a fourth floor; when the store was cut into the ground floor; and any evidence either way on the Hendrix claim.
