360 Hamilton St, San Francisco, CA 94134

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 360 Hamilton Street in the Portola neighborhood, owned by Montoya Tala A, was constructed in 1963 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues over its history. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of water-related problems, with the most recent incidents occurring in early 2024 involving sewage backups through manhole covers and vent issues, and a similar major leak with water damage, mildew, and rot reported in 1996. The building's maintenance history shows periodic renovation efforts, including kitchen remodeling in 2004 ($6,500) and earlier repairs for dry rot (2001) and termite damage (1987).

Multiple routine housing inspections between 1996 and 2007 identified various violations that were subsequently addressed, including fire safety concerns such as the need for fire extinguishers and deck repairs, as well as general maintenance issues like the requirement for a gas utility shutoff tool. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 indicate continuing infrastructure challenges, particularly with the sewer system, as evidenced by multiple sewage backup reports. The building has undergone several significant repairs over the years, including kitchen renovations and addressing various structural and maintenance issues.

The property's documented history shows attention to both emergency repairs and planned improvements, though the recurring nature of water-related issues suggests an ongoing infrastructure challenge. The most recent building-related concerns appear to be primarily focused on plumbing systems, with three out of five recent 311 calls in 2023-2024 related to sewer issues. The building's record also shows proper response to safety violations when they are identified, with all noted building and fire code violations being marked as "Not Active" following their resolution.
