1323 Natoma St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 8-unit multi-family residential building at 1323 Natoma Street in the Inner Mission was built in 1990 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history. Between 2016-2017, the building underwent considerable attention to multiple violations including rodent infestation, mold and mildew problems, inadequate heating, lack of smoke detectors, and general dilapidation, all of which were ultimately abated by November 2016.

More recent issues include a sewer backup incident in 2020 that affected bathroom facilities and flooring, and separate complaints in 2017 regarding moldy carpet and various maintenance concerns in Unit 2. The building has experienced recurring problems with its alarm system, with violations recorded in 2014, 2017, and most recently in 2020, including a malicious false alarm incident on August 4, 2020, though this was not linked to any civilian injuries.

Recent building improvements include a reroofing project completed in 2016 at a cost of $21,000, and minor street space permits. The property has been the subject of various external complaints and issues in the surrounding area, including multiple reports of garbage and debris, and encampments near the property as recorded in 2024. While many historical maintenance issues have been resolved, the building's history shows a pattern of intermittent maintenance challenges requiring attention to basic habitability standards, particularly during the 2016-2017 period when multiple violations were documented across different categories including sanitation, fire safety, and general building maintenance.
