4406-4408 California St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-story multi-family residential building at 4406-4408 California Street, owned by Lee Lai Har, was constructed in 1906 and contains three units, housing a ground-floor restaurant and residential units above. The property has undergone several improvements over the years, including the installation of a UL 300 fire suppression system in 2009 and renovations to accommodate a handicapped lift in 2015 (now expired).

Historical modifications include restaurant improvements in 1999 and a minor partition relocation in 1984. The restaurant, Mizutani Sushi Bar, operates under specific zoning approvals allowing it as a continuation of a legal nonconforming use within the NC-1 Zoning District, with additional restrictions due to its proximity to the Inner Clement NCD.

Recent building records show recurring issues with garbage and debris management, with ten identical 311 calls registered between January 4-13, 2025, all related to overflowing city garbage cans. While the calls indicate external waste management issues rather than structural or safety concerns, they represent the most significant recent pattern of activity associated with the property. Additionally, the building experienced several fire alarm activations due to malfunction (with no civilian injuries reported) and one instance of smoke or odor removal, suggesting occasional fire system sensitivity that may require monitoring, though none of these incidents resulted in actual fire damage or injury.
