1023-1025 Natoma St, San Francisco, CA 94103

This 2-unit multi-family residential building, located at 1023-1025 Natoma Street, was constructed in 1907 and is currently owned by Jennifer L. Brown. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues and code violations, particularly regarding plumbing systems, water damage, and heating systems.

Notable problems include repeated plumbing issues between 2005-2015, involving sewer line failures, wastewater leaks, and a broken sink drain, which required multiple permits and repairs totaling several thousand dollars. There were also significant heating system problems, with tenant complaints about lack of heat occurring as recently as 2011, though these were eventually addressed through various heating system upgrades. Other completed maintenance work includes repairs to dry rot in rear stairs (2008), plumbing upgrades including a new trench drain (2021) and sewer system improvements (2015), and various interior repairs including wall and ceiling work (2016).

The building's recent history shows ongoing environmental challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in early 2025 regarding debris and waste on the property, particularly concerning human waste/urine and graffiti issues. There have been three documented fire incidents, though none resulted in civilian injuries or significant damage. The property was subject to a tenant buyout of $30,000 for two tenants in 2017, and a larger buyout of $95,000 for one tenant at 1035 Natoma Street in 2019. Recent complaints from January 2025 about garbage and debris, including human waste, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges in the immediate area, though these appear to be primarily street-level issues rather than directly related to the building's internal conditions.
