684-688 Green St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story multi-family residential building at 684-688 Green Street in North Beach, owned by Kou Va Kuan & Hang Cham Rev Trust, consists of 5 units plus commercial space and was built in 1912. The property underwent significant improvements in 2017, including voluntary seismic retrofitting and ADA improvements to the ground and basement levels, which totaled over $56,000 in combined costs.

Additional renovations included electrical upgrades totaling $6,750 for kitchen equipment and lighting, kitchen plumbing work, and the installation of an UL300 kitchen fire system in 2011. The building has a history of maintenance issues, with multiple violations documented in 2001 that were all abated by March 2018, including security deficiencies, lead paint concerns, stair inspections, and fire proofing repairs. Recent concerns include a 2022 complaint about a blighted projecting sign blocking residential windows, and a 2023 ADA compliance inquiry regarding restroom accessibility.

The property received multiple 311 service calls in 2024, primarily related to sidewalk conditions, including reports of crumbling pavement and tripping hazards, as well as various cleaning and maintenance issues such as graffiti removal and garbage disposal. The building's commercial space has undergone several modifications over the years, with the most recent being the 2020 installation of natural gas patio heaters. The property was previously home to Capp's Corner restaurant, which ceased operations in 2015, leading to a vacant storefront violation in 2018 that was promptly addressed.
