Avoid Bad Landlords & Problem Buildings in San Francisco

This building has a dog that constantly barks all hours of the day and night. It is bothering EVERYONE on the block every time they walk by. The owner of the dog NEVER shuts the dog up and it gets worse on a daily basis. If someone has a dog that is NOT trained, they should NOT be in an apartment building. That disturbs the entire neighborhood. Let's hope that the owners Clifford and Bernice Wong will do something about this constant irritation on the entire block.

If I could give zero stars, I would. This was the worst landlord/owner I’ve ever had. Li “Cathy” Wen Bu hired a sketchy property manager SOLELY FOR MY UNIT and no one else’s (later found this out in court), clearly with the intent of finding reasons to force me out. Unit 729 (next door) was allowed to aim their Ring camera directly at my unit’s front door, and they constantly filed racially charged “complaints”, every day at times, only with recordings of my Black husband simply walking in and out of our home (also found out from court). Instead of addressing this obvious harassment, “Cathy” Bu enabled it. She tried to evict me for “nuisance” based on the discriminatory complaints from this ONE neighbor. When I eventually decided to move out, I left the apartment in good, clean condition. Despite this, “Cathy” illegally withheld my entire security deposit. She charged me for 12 months of “unpaid utilities”, created fake invoices, altered photos of the unit’s condition and then lied about mailing me the security deposit check. We had to go to court to get it back, and we won (again). That should tell you everything you need to know about how she operates. Unprofessional, dishonest, discriminatory, and retaliatory. If you are looking to rent here, do your research (court cases etc.) Especially, if you aren’t Asian or White, consider the risks and ask yourself if she’s the type of landlord you’d want.

Never returned our deposit, we had to threaten to sue over months & literally just got half of the deposit back. Never provided interest on our deposit either which is a mandate by SF gov at 5.2% this is not a small amount.

Norman Lee is a landlord who will overcharge, under deliver, intimidate/harass and steal from you. His mother was the single most unhinged person I've ever had to deal with in my life. A literal monster. These people harbor EXTREME prejudice and exhibit their biases for all to see. They are proud of who and how they are, lying to tenants, stealing their utilities, gaslighting and intimidating college students who don't look like them. Gross people and house, do NOT give them your money!!
