1351-1353 Natoma St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The property at 1351-1353 Natoma Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood is a 2-story flats and duplex building originally constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Elmer & Maria Emilia Lopez. The building's history reveals several significant compliance issues and subsequent remedial work, most notably involving an unauthorized deck construction in 2005-2007 that led to violation notices and abatement proceedings.

The illegal deck installation prompted enforcement actions in September 2007, with final abatement occurring in April 2010, during which time the owners completed demolition of the unauthorized structure and installed new rear stairs on both floors at a cost of $5,000. Looking at more recent history, the building has experienced consistent maintenance of public areas, with multiple reports of human/animal waste (between October 2023 and January 2024) and a December 2023 report of a sidewalk defect.

The property has also seen recurring issues with parking enforcement, particularly regarding blocked driveways, with two such incidents documented in February and March 2024. Other recent matters include an overgrown tree issue resolved in September 2023 and three complaints about trash and debris (most recently in September 2024), though these are typical urban neighborhood concerns rather than building-specific issues. The building has undergone two permitted modifications in the past: a cancelled room addition in 1986 and an expired horizontal addition in 1990, neither of which appears to have been completed.
