636-638 Natoma St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The three-story multi-family residential building at 636-638 Natoma Street, owned by the Chui & Law Family Trust, was constructed in 1906 and contains three units. The property has a documented history of compliance-related improvements, with multiple building permits issued in the 1980s through 1992 specifically aimed at bringing the structure into compliance with municipal codes, including a significant permit in 1992 valued at $28,389. The building underwent a health and safety inspection in March 2011, which revealed several safety issues that were subsequently addressed and abated by April 2011.

These included the need for proper deadlatch locks at exit doors, installation of self-closing devices at exterior doors, handrail requirements, and concerns regarding garbage receptacle placement. In 2008, a complaint about a wooden utility ladder for roof access was filed and resolved by early 2009. Recent external environmental conditions around the property have presented challenges, particularly evident through multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding street cleaning issues.

These reports, which were all resolved, included incidents of human waste, debris, and graffiti on or near the building. The most recent documented building-related permit was issued in 2014 for street space usage with a minimal cost of $20, while the most recent direct building violation records are from 2011, suggesting no significant internal building code violations have been recorded in recent years. The property's historical permit activity indicates regular attention to code compliance over the decades, with no active violations currently on record.
