4117-4123 California St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 4117-4123 California Street in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, owned by Sophie Gasparatos Living Trust, has a century-long history dating back to 1900. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues, particularly in recent years, with records showing recurring concerns about unauthorized construction and safety compliance. Most notably, in 2012, electrical violations were documented involving hazardous wiring related to a marijuana grow operation, which was abated within three months.

The building has seen repeated issues with its stairway structures, including dry rot repairs in 2008 and earlier repairs in 1991, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges with this critical safety feature. Recent years have brought continued concerns about unauthorized work and building safety. In 2022, a complaint was filed regarding an unpermitted new sign installation on the commercial portion of the property, while multiple complaints in late 2013 documented possible illegal construction activities occurring at night.

The property has also faced fire safety concerns, with three separate fire complaints recorded between 2009 and 2013 regarding combustible materials, though all were promptly corrected. More routine municipal service issues have been reported, including flooding problems in December 2022 and various street-related complaints such as debris, illegal postings, and parking violations, though these are generally not directly related to building conditions. The building's permit history, including both completed and expired permits, suggests ongoing maintenance work is required to address both structural and safety issues, though many of the historical violations have been resolved.
