1084-1094 Natoma St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 3-story, 6-unit apartment building at 1084-1094 Natoma Street in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood, built in 1907 and owned by Steven G. Miller, has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple challenges over its history. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory Tier 3 soft-story retrofit in 2017, including the installation of Ufer grounding in compliance with current seismic safety codes, representing a substantial investment of $60,000 in building safety.

The property has experienced various maintenance and safety issues, particularly during the early 2000s, when multiple violations were documented between 2003-2006, including repairs needed for electrical outlets, handrails, stairs, fire extinguishers, windows, drainage, and weatherproofing. While these violations were ultimately abated by August 2004, the building faced an unauthorized unit addition complaint in 2007 and a health and safety inspection in 2009. More recent history shows attention to fire safety concerns, with violations and complaints about alarm systems documented in 2018-2019, though these were subsequently addressed.

The building's maintenance history includes several completed permits for various repairs and improvements, such as door repairs and roofing work in the 1990s. Recent municipal data from late 2024 indicates ongoing neighborhood issues with garbage debris and encampments near the property, though these external factors are not directly related to the building's condition or management. The building's current status shows no active violations or major complaints, and all major safety improvements, including the soft-story retrofit, have been properly completed with Certificates of Final Completion issued.
