436 Cole St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit residential building at 436 Cole St in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Silverman Govan Tr, has experienced several notable incidents over the past few years, particularly between 2020 and 2024. The property has faced recurring issues with graffiti, with three documented cases between 2020-2023, including an offensive graffiti incident on the building itself in September 2023 and earlier occurrences on the adjacent sidewalk.

The building has also dealt with several public space maintenance matters, including improper placement of waste toters (September 2023), loose garbage (January 2023), and a fallen tree incident (January 2024), all of which were resolved through city services. There have been two documented encampment-related incidents near the property, with the most recent reporting in November 2023, which required cleanup of an ADA-compliant tent.

While none of these incidents appear to pose direct risks to the building's structural integrity or resident safety, they do indicate ongoing challenges with the immediate neighborhood environment. The property's management has generally responded to these issues through appropriate channels, with most cases being resolved through city services, though some required outreach and enforcement measures. Notably, the documentation indicates that certain enforcement actions were closed or dismissed due to temporary legislation, particularly during a specified citywide emergency period.
