55 Culebra Ter, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 55 Culebra Terrace property in Russian Hill is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1968, currently owned by Larry P. Wong and Mei Lai. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past two decades, with the most recent concerns centered around a clutter-related complaint from 2021 that involved both interior storage issues and reports of rodent/insect infestation.

The property has a documented history of roof-related problems and unauthorized modifications, particularly regarding a roof deck installation that triggered multiple code enforcement actions between 2006-2012. This unauthorized roof deck work, which included unsafe guard railing installations, resulted in two Notice of Violations (200679480 and 200795194) that were eventually resolved through proper permitting and removal work completed in 2012. Additional maintenance work has been performed on the roof, including a 2015 permit for repairs in preparation for El Niño weather, though this work generated complaints about liquid runoff affecting neighboring properties.

The building has also faced some safety concerns, with fire department records showing two instances of combustible materials being cited in 2008, though both issues were promptly corrected. Historical records indicate the building underwent reroofing work in 1991, and various routine infrastructure maintenance has been performed over the years. While the property's most pressing code compliance issues appear to have been resolved, the 2021 complaints regarding clutter and pest management suggest ongoing maintenance challenges may persist.
