769 North Point St, San Francisco, CA 94109

769 North Point Street, a 2-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues since its construction in 1900. The property has been involved in multiple disputes over unpermitted construction, most recently in December 2023 with complaints regarding unauthorized structure construction in the backyard.

Previous violations include an illegal storage shed in the rear yard, lower roof deck, rear staircase, and attic addition issues, which were ultimately abated in 2004 after multiple notices of violation. The building has undergone several repair and maintenance projects, including stair tread replacements in 2021, reroofing in 1997, and various fire safety system corrections between 2016-2023 involving alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and exit maintenance. The property has shown periodic compliance challenges with building codes and safety regulations, including fire safety system violations that were typically corrected within a few months.

Multiple complaints have been filed regarding unauthorized construction and property line issues, with the most recent activity focusing on backyard modifications. Historical records reveal attempts to legalize various structures, including a backyard patio and storage shed, though some permits were cancelled or expired, leading to compliance issues. The building has maintained its residential status as a flats and duplex structure under the ownership of Arza Trust, with its most recent significant building activity involving fire safety system corrections earlier in 2023.
