623-625 Natoma St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 623-625 Natoma Street, owned by the Steil-meng Family Trust, has been in operation since 1923 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history. Most recently, in 2022, the building faced notable sanitation challenges involving garbage receptacle management, with complaints about homeless individuals accessing the property through an unsecure sidewalk hatch, leading to unsafe and unsanitary conditions that residents were reportedly required to manage themselves.

This situation was eventually addressed and officially abated by July 2022. The building received a plumbing system upgrade in 2021 with the installation of an area drain drainage box and pump, and historical records show earlier maintenance work including a roof replacement in 1991 and back steps repair attempts in 1987. The property has undergone multiple housing inspections over the years, with particularly concerning conditions documented in 2003, when violations included pest infestations (cockroaches and mice), ventilation issues, defective heating systems, and various interior surface problems including damaged walls and peeling paint.

These violations, along with a noted lead paint hazard, were officially abated by August 2007. A blocked exits fire safety complaint was also corrected in October 2007. More recent 311 calls from 2024 indicate ongoing challenges in the area surrounding the building, including multiple reports of encampments, garbage, and debris issues near the property, though these external matters are not directly related to the building's internal conditions.
