587 Natoma St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 29-unit, 5-story apartment building at 587 Natoma Street, owned by Gabreila Apartments Ltd, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in May 2024, there was a serious incident involving the garage gate that reportedly caused injury to a pedestrian, and this violation remains active. Additionally, as of early 2024, multiple building violations were documented regarding various building maintenance issues, including problems with kitchen appliances, floor coverings, general dilapidation, security features (such as deadlatches), and plumbing/electrical concerns (specifically regarding lights and outlets).

These violations, which were issued in January 2024 with final warning letters in February 2024, all remain active. The building has also experienced elevator issues, with complaints about non-functioning elevators filed in both May 2024 and December 2014. Other documented problems include water damage and ceiling issues from December 2013, though these complaints have since been resolved.

The property has seen various 311 calls throughout 2024-2025, including reports of sidewalk defects, excessive noise, and issues with street cleaning. Recent infrastructure concerns include a missing side sewer vent cover (July 2024) and a public works-related issue that has remained open. While the building has undergone routine health and safety inspections, as evidenced by a November 2022 complaint, the persistence of current violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building, which was constructed in 1997, has experienced recurring issues with both interior maintenance and building systems, particularly the elevator, which has been a recurring point of concern over the past decade.
