764-768 Natoma St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 764-768 Natoma Street property is a three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood, built in 1908 and currently owned by the Hu & Ku Family Trust. The building has experienced several significant events in recent years, including an active foundation issue being addressed in late 2024 with soil stabilization work costing $8,833.

There are outstanding compliance issues from 2019 regarding unpermitted structural work in the basement, which involved foundation walls, floor joists, beams, and columns. In 2021, the building underwent a major exterior renovation with the replacement of rear stairs and deck to address a violation, while in 2019-2021, there were multiple electrical issues reported, including complaints about outlets malfunctioning and an electrical system "blow up." The building has undergone various interior improvements, including bathroom and kitchen remodels, and the installation of solar panels in 2014. Historical records show the property has faced several regulatory challenges, including multiple violations in 2004 and 2011 related to safety requirements, though these were successfully abated.

A tenant buyout was recorded in December 2018 for $15,000. Recent complaints from late 2024 have primarily concerned street-level issues such as garbage, debris, and noise, which are currently being addressed by city authorities. The building has shown consistent maintenance activity, with various permits issued for improvements and repairs, though some work has been conducted without proper permits, leading to several code enforcement investigations.
