1314-1318 Natoma St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 1314-1318 Natoma Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood was built in 1907 and is currently owned by Jennifer A. Shaon. The property has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges over the years.

Most notably, in 2017, the building completed a $75,000 mandatory soft-story retrofit to improve seismic safety, which involved the installation of new shear walls and footings at the ground floor, earning it a Tier 3 designation with work completed and a Certificate of Final Completion issued. Recent maintenance issues have included a 2024 complaint about debris and garbage accumulation affecting neighboring properties and a 2020 report of mold and ceiling leaks in unit 1318. The building previously faced multiple housing code violations in 2002-2004, which were subsequently resolved, including issues related to fire safety (fire extinguishers and smoke detectors), unit restoration permits, and basement storage. Other historical complaints include a 1997 report of roof leaks and plumbing issues.

The building's electrical systems were upgraded in 2003 with the installation of lighting, receptacles, circuits, and smoke detectors. The property has experienced three fire-related incidents in recent years, all of which were minor: two unrelated to actual fires (a carbon monoxide detector activation and a malfunctioning alarm system) and one confined cooking fire with no injuries. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street cleaning and parking issues in the vicinity of the building, rather than building-specific problems. The unit summary indicates periodic concerns with waste management and general cleanliness around the property, with multiple sanitation-related 311 calls between 2020 and 2024.
