1364-1368 Natoma St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1364-1368 Natoma St in the Inner Mission, owned by Lara Emma and built in 1906, has experienced several significant maintenance and habitability issues over recent years. Most recently, in December 2023, there were concerns about recurring issues with a backed-up backyard drain affecting all units. Prior to this, the building faced multiple water-related problems, including window leakage causing moisture damage and mold, with complaints filed in 2022 about an unaddressed leaking window pane and bathroom ceiling issues.

The property has undergone some structural work, including foundation underpinning work filed in 2018 at a cost of $35,000, though this permit status is listed as "Filed". Multiple violations were recorded in 2003 related to security and safety requirements, including issues with handrails, self-closing doors, and egress obstructions, though these were all abated by January 2004. More recent concerns from 2022-2023 include violations regarding interior surfaces, electrical outlets, and light and ventilation issues, with some permits being obtained to address these problems, such as a $1,000 permit in October 2023 for wall repairs and siding work.

The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of water-related issues, with multiple complaints about drainage problems and moisture damage, particularly in the backyard and around windows. The property has also experienced occasional parking enforcement issues in the surrounding area, with several complaints about vehicles blocking driveways recorded between 2022-2024. While some historical issues have been resolved, the building continues to face ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly relating to water damage and drainage systems, based on the most recent complaints and repair work performed.
