1357-1363 Broadway, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 4-unit multi-family residential building at 1357-1363 Broadway in Nob Hill, owned by Kristen Lau, was constructed in 1900 and consists of two stories. The property has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues over its history, most notably in July 2000 when multiple violations were documented including problems with overgrown vegetation, rubbish accumulation, security door requirements, water heating standards, combustible storage, gas utility shutoff tools, fire extinguisher maintenance, and deck conditions.

A serious security concern was highlighted during this period, with reports of an inadequate security gate leading to intrusions and thefts. More recently, in July 2013, the building faced similar safety concerns with a rotting security gate and deck, as well as issues with courtyard maintenance and pest control. These historical violations were reportedly all abated by October 2000.

The building has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges in recent years, with a significant cluster of graffiti incidents documented between September 2023 and March 2024, including at least three open cases and multiple resolved ones. Other recent issues include reports of human or animal waste, general cleaning needs, and an encampment report in early 2024, though these were primarily external to the building itself. While many historical violations were resolved, the building's recent history suggests ongoing exterior maintenance challenges, particularly regarding graffiti removal and street cleaning requirements.
