Developer Novin Development Corp., San Francisco Housing Development Corporation Date Built 1907 Property Management FPI Management Development Type Preservation, multi story Building Area 2,590-square foot Development Profile Total of 4 units, including: 4 units of 2BR Amenities Multiple dining and shops nearby Nearby parks Accessible muni lines and close proximity to Civic Center UN Plaza BART Station Resident Profile Households earning at or below 50% AMI. Funders San Francisco Housing Accelerator Fund Mayor’s Office for Housing and Community Development 528 Natoma Street, located in the heart of San Francisco’s South of Market (SoMa) neighborhood, is a critical example of community-driven preservation through the City’s Small Sites Program (SSP). Led by SFHDC in partnership with Novin Development, the project secured a 1907-era building that had fallen into foreclosure and disrepair, stabilizing it to prevent the displacement of long-term tenants. The building’s preservation is especially meaningful in SoMa, a neighborhood with deep cultural ties to San Francisco’s Filipino and Tagalog-speaking communities. Before acquisition, the property faced serious habitability issues including plumbing failures, rodent infestations, and multiple code violations. Tenants, many of whom are Tagalog-speaking families, organized with the support of community-based groups such as West Bay Pilipino Multi-Service Center and SOMA Pilipinas. Their advocacy led to the building’s inclusion in the SSP, allowing for its acquisition and long-term protection as affordable housing rooted in cultural and community identity. Renovations were completed in November 2023 by Blackline Construction, guided by a Capital Needs Assessment that identified critical improvements. The work included unit upgrades, new electrical systems, roof repairs, and exterior restoration. These improvements enhanced quality of life for residents and preserved four...
