Narrative:
Event at ZZZ runway 13/31. Was at the maintenance hangar at other end of airport and had to cross runway 13/31 to get back to FBO building. Came to a stop and looked both ways for incoming traffic. Did not see any so proceeded across runway. When I reached FBO building I was informed that a navajo had to do a go around and landed uneventfully. Due to an obstructed view I could not tell if any traffic was coming in. Buildings at end of runway and trees make incoming air traffic difficult to see. Corrective actions would be to have radios that communicate with unicom.
