2356 California St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The property at 2356 California Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, owned by the Hui Family Living Trust and constructed in 1900. The building experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in 2001, when a routine inspection identified multiple violations including problems with lead-based paint, fire safety concerns (such as combustible storage and fire escape maintenance), interior surface issues (like unpainted walls), and security matters (including exterior door self-closing devices). These violations were documented and officially abated by December 2002.

The building underwent reroofing work in 1996, and a street space permit was issued in 2010. A recent routine safety inspection in July 2013 showed the building was under regular housing inspection review. The property has had several maintenance and safety-related incidents documented through 311 calls between 2013 and 2024.

These include multiple tree maintenance requests in 2013-2015 related to trees damaging property, a burnt-out streetlight replacement in 2015, and various graffiti and illegal posting issues in recent years. The most recent activity was a parking lane-related request in July 2024. While many of these issues have been resolved, the building's history shows a pattern of needing attention to both interior and exterior maintenance, particularly regarding tree management and building safety systems. The last major building inspection was over ten years ago, in 2013, though there have been various maintenance-related service requests since then.
