This 11-unit apartment building, located at 643-655 Divisadero Street in the Park North neighborhood, was constructed in 1900 and consists of three stories. The property has undergone significant improvements over recent years, with notable recent work including a fire alarm system upgrade completed in early 2024 (cost: $38,883) to comply with current fire safety requirements, representing ongoing attention to safety systems. The building completed mandatory soft-story improvements in 2015, addressing seismic safety requirements, and has maintained compliance with fire safety inspections, though there have been multiple fire alarm-related complaints in 2023 that were promptly addressed.

Recent tenant complaints from 2024 have raised concerns about various issues, including laundry facilities, hot water supply, and heating systems.

The building has maintained active compliance with plumbing and electrical upgrades, including various unit remodels and commercial space improvements.

Historical records show previous violations related to fire safety, water drainage systems, and unauthorized signage installations, though these have all been resolved. The property manager has actively worked on improvements, as evidenced by multiple completed permits for unit upgrades, building system improvements, and façade renovations between 2014 and 2016. Recent 311 calls (as of late 2024) primarily relate to street-level maintenance issues, including garbage and debris concerns. Regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services have been conducted, with the most recent ones showing some ongoing issues being addressed.
