5-11 Fielding St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 7-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 5-11 Fielding Street in North Beach, built in 1907 and owned by Brian & Deana Mooe Lvg Tr, has undergone significant improvements and faced several challenges in recent years. Most notably, during 2019-2020, the building was fully sprinklered as part of mandatory safety improvements, including the installation of a new fire alarm system with smoke detectors and horn strobes throughout the building. The property completed its soft-story seismic retrofit work (Tier 3) and received its Certificate of Final Completion.

Multiple unit renovations have been undertaken, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in units 7 and 9, window replacements, and roof deck construction. The building experienced several compliance issues in early 2016, including concerns about rodent infestation, peeling paint, and fire safety requirements, but these were all abated by February 2016. Additional construction work during COVID-19 prompted a complaint in April 2020, though this was not sustained. The property has maintained regular maintenance and upgrading of systems, including multiple plumbing and electrical improvements from 2016 to 2020, such as the installation of mini-split heat pump systems, new electrical wiring throughout units, and various HVAC upgrades.

Recent complaints through 311 channels have generally been resolved, with no active violations or complaints recorded since 2020, though there was one unsuccessful general service request in early 2024. The building's compliance history shows proactive management, with multiple tenant improvements and system upgrades completed, though some permits from 2017-2018 had expired or required renewal for final inspection. A tenant buyout was recorded for one unit in October 2020 for $20,000. The building has also undergone routine housing inspections, including one in 2005, which highlighted various maintenance issues that were subsequently addressed.
