581 Natoma St, San Francisco, CA None

581 Natoma Street is a five-story, 29-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1997 and currently owned by Gabreila Apartments Ltd. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history, with the most serious cluster of violations occurring in November 2014, when multiple citations were issued for various problems including floor covering repairs, window maintenance, general dilapidation, and security concerns related to doors and smoke detectors.

These violations were all officially abated by December 10, 2014. A concerning complaint was filed in October 2021 regarding possible unsafe living conditions in the basement, and in 1996 there were serious fire safety concerns with a blocked fire escape that led to dogs being housed in the barricaded area. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to its infrastructure, with significant renovations planned in 1997 for kitchen and bathroom remodeling, though these permits have since expired.

Fire incident records indicate nine responses, primarily for non-fire related issues such as elevator rescues, false alarms, and a minor cooking incident, with no civilian injuries reported in any incident. The property has been the subject of numerous 311 calls, particularly during 2024, for issues related to street cleaning and waste removal, though these exterior maintenance matters do not directly reflect on the building's internal conditions. The building's age and location in the South of Market neighborhood suggest it has experienced typical urban maintenance challenges over its lifetime, with the 2014 violations remaining the most comprehensive documented set of building code issues.
