434-436 Greenwich St, San Francisco, CA 94133

434-436 Greenwich Street is a three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building located in Telegraph Hill, owned by the Kaplan Family Trust since 1999. Built in 1914, this building has undergone several renovations and faced multiple maintenance issues over the years. The most significant recent work includes window replacements, bathroom renovations, and various plumbing and electrical updates in 2008-2012, including a furnace replacement in 2015.

A notable incident occurred in 2008 when unpermitted construction of a rooftop deck led to multiple Notices of Violation, though these were eventually abated by September 2008 after proper corrections were made. The building faced some maintenance challenges in 2021, with multiple reports of sewer issues and flooding, while earlier issues included a housing inspection in 2007 that cited various problems including a possible illegal unit, damaged doors, and plumbing issues, all of which were subsequently addressed. The property has undergone several modernization projects over the years, including kitchen and bathroom renovations, electrical upgrades, and window improvements. A significant plumbing modification in 2007 combined the water systems of 436 and 438 Greenwich into one, and various units have received updates to comply with current building standards.

More recent history shows regular maintenance and service requests, including several regarding scooter placement in the area (2020-2022) and a water issue in 2021. The building's management has generally responded to violations and maintenance issues, with most being resolved through proper channels and permits. In 2019, there were two documented instances of waste receptacles being left out, which resulted in a citation. The most recent significant building decision attempted to reduce the unit count from five to four by merging two units, though this appears to have been marked as "not taken/approved."
