432-436 Laurel St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 432-436 Laurel Street is a three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in Presidio Heights, constructed in 1898 and currently owned by Tsai Tsung-yu Joy. The building has undergone significant renovations and improvements, particularly during 2013 when extensive work was completed, including the installation of multiple fireplaces, furnace systems, water heaters, and comprehensive rewiring of individual units including kitchens and bathrooms. During this period, the building also received infrastructure upgrades such as stair repairs and the addition of a private roof deck for the top unit.

More recently, the building faced some compliance issues, with an active violation filed in July 2024 regarding allegedly misrepresented existing conditions related to a lightwell and skylights, based on an internal audit review. This violation has generated monthly monitoring fees and appears to be still pending resolution as of October 2023. The property has also shown attention to modern amenities, with the installation of an EV charger in 2020.

Other maintenance matters have included a sidewalk defect reported in 2019 that remains open as of October 2023, and regular maintenance issues like overgrown trees (2023) and street cleaning (2016), though these are typical for any urban property. The building's older records show a fire code violation from 2009 that was closed, with a disposition of violation issued on the same day as the complaint. These historical records, while not recent, indicate the building has gone through various inspections and regulatory processes over the years, including multiple street space permits and utility upgrades.
