1671 Greenwich St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 1671 Greenwich Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Shek Hon & Kwai Ping T T Ng, has encountered several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past decade. The building, constructed in 1906, experienced a notable cluster of violations in late 2018 through mid-2019, including concerns about a dilapidated and rotted rear wall, interior surface damage (walls, floors, and ceilings), sanitation issues, and problems with a wooden ladder that led to the installation of a metal replacement in early 2019 at a cost of $1,200.

Multiple complaints about structural problems were documented in the building's history, including reports of cracks and holes throughout the walls, as well as a concerning slant felt by residents noted in October 2018. Earlier building history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, including a 2007 complaint regarding exposed flooring, clogged sinks, and peeling paint, as well as a 2015 complaint about lead-based paint concerns.

More recent years have primarily seen external issues, with multiple 311 calls in 2022-2024 regarding street cleaning, discarded debris, and illegal parking near the building. The property underwent several permitted modifications over the years, including a horizontal addition completed in 1999, deck and staircase repairs in 1998, and various compliance measures dating back to 1987. While most recent 311 calls have been resolved and primarily concern external cleanup issues, the building's documented history suggests a pattern of deferred maintenance and structural concerns that have required ongoing attention over the years.
