656-662 Green St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 5-unit, 3-story apartment building at 656-662 Green Street in North Beach, owned by George Lung, was constructed in 1909 and has undergone several significant maintenance and repair events over its history. Most notably, in March 2023, a concerning complaint was filed regarding a flooding laundry room with multiple maintenance issues including exposed wiring, broken appliances, and water intrusion problems that persisted despite being reported. The building experienced substantial fire damage in 2009-2010, leading to extensive repairs to the rear building including wall replacement, window installation, electrical system upgrades, and the addition of laundry facilities on all floors, totaling approximately $80,000 in combined renovation costs.

A reroofing project completed in 2022 for $15,750 indicates ongoing maintenance efforts. The property has a history of various code violations and building complaints, particularly regarding stairs, handrails, and general maintenance issues, though most have been resolved. A series of routine inspections have been conducted over the years, with the most recent in 2023 showing multiple issues requiring attention, including problems with walls, ceilings, windows, and electrical outlets.

The building's infrastructure has seen significant upgrades, including the installation of modern laundry facilities, heating systems, and various safety improvements following the fire damage. While many historical complaints have been resolved, the most recent water intrusion issues in 2023 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban issues as evidenced by 311 calls, though these are primarily related to street maintenance and public space concerns rather than building-specific problems.
