790 California St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The 6-story, 28-unit multi-family residential building at 790 California Street, built in 1911 and currently owned by Maureen Wong Chen Survivor, has undergone numerous repairs and improvements over the past decade. Most recently, in August 2023, there was a fire violation issued regarding sleeping area requirements that remains open.

Building maintenance has included significant infrastructure upgrades such as a steam boiler replacement in 2019 and window replacement work in 2019 costing $28,500. The property has a history of unit renovations, with multiple apartments (most notably units 24, 38, 44, 47, 57) receiving kitchen and bathroom remodels between 2009-2019, often involving electrical system upgrades and new plumbing fixtures.

The building experienced notable issues in 2008 with water damage and mold concerns, and between 2005-2011, there were several violations including concerns about lead paint, fire safety requirements, and plumbing issues, all of which were subsequently abated. The property's history includes routine safety inspections and various emergency responses, though fortunately, there have been no reported civilian injuries from fire incidents or other emergencies. Recent 311 calls (2024) primarily concern street maintenance issues rather than building-specific problems, suggesting improved building conditions in recent years compared to earlier periods.
