1430 Cole St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 4-unit, 2-story apartment building at 1430 Cole Street, owned by Sean S. Wang and constructed in 1952, has experienced several notable events throughout its history. In 2006, a routine apartment inspection revealed multiple safety and maintenance issues, including problems with smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, water heater seismic bracing, fire escape ladder, and off-street parking.

There were also concerns about lead paint hazards and building security. These violations were all addressed and abated by December 2006. The building underwent reroofing work in 1992, though that permit has since expired.

More recent history shows various external incidents primarily affecting the property’s surroundings, including multiple driveway blocking complaints, graffiti incidents, and a damaged tree that required hard pruning and restaking in December 2023. A sewage backup issue was reported and resolved in May 2022, and there was one instance of graffiti on the building in September 2020 that was subsequently addressed. The property has also experienced some parking enforcement issues in its vicinity, with citations issued for blocked driveways in 2022 and 2024, and there were reports of an abandoned vehicle in the area in 2022.
