36-38 Auburn St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The two-story multi-family residential building at 36-38 Auburn Street in Nob Hill, owned by the David & Karen Mar Trust, was constructed in 1910 and contains three units. The property underwent significant renovations in 2011-2012, including multiple kitchen and bathroom remodels, roof work, and laundry room upgrades, with permits totaling over $50,000 in documented improvements. During this renovation period, there were several building violations and complaints, particularly regarding unauthorized work related to a roof structure and stair penthouse, which allegedly blocked neighboring views and required stop work orders.

These issues were investigated in early 2012 and ultimately abated by December 2012, though they did involve multiple notices of violation and required corrections. The building's maintenance history shows regular updates to essential systems, including electrical upgrades to 200-amp service and comprehensive plumbing work for various unit improvements. More recent history from 2017 to 2022 indicates typical urban issues such as noise complaints and parking concerns, plus some street cleaning matters. There was one recorded outside fire incident (rubbish fire, cause unintentional) with no civilian injuries.

The property appears to have maintained compliance with most building codes since the 2011-2012 renovation period, with no active violations on current record. The most recent building permit activity appears to be from over a decade ago (2012), suggesting either no significant renovations have been needed or completed since then, or that no new permits have been required for routine maintenance or improvements. Recent 311 calls from 2017-2022 mostly concern neighborhood issues rather than building-specific problems, including noise complaints, sidewalk parking violations, and street cleaning needs. The building's documented history shows a period of substantial investment in improvements and resolution of code compliance issues, with all known violations having been abated.
