57 Blake St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-unit residential building at 57 Blake Street, located in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure owned by Ng Trust and dates back to 1926. The building's documented history shows a reroofing project from 1998, though this permit has since expired.

A significant issue arose in May 2000 regarding an unauthorized barbed wire fence construction in the rear yard that exceeded the 6-foot height limit and was improperly attached to neighboring property. This violation, which contravened several sections of the San Francisco Building Code, was officially noted in both a complaint and a violation record, though it was eventually abated in April 2012, suggesting resolution took over 12 years.

More recent history of the property shows minimal direct building-related issues, but there have been several incidents in the surrounding area documented through 311 calls. These include a damaged/vandalized tree in April 2022, illegal sidewalk parking in February 2020 (which the responding officer was unable to verify), the discovery of medical waste (needles) in September 2019, and an abandoned vehicle report in October 2012, though the vehicle was gone upon the officer's arrival. While these incidents occurred in proximity to the building, they appear to be more related to neighborhood conditions rather than direct issues with the property itself.
