5026 California St, San Francisco, CA 94118

This two-story, four-unit multi-family residential apartment building at 5026 California St, owned by the Szeto Family Trust, was constructed in 1938 and is located in the Lake --The Presidio neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent notable upgrade being a comprehensive electrical service modernization in 2016, which included the installation of a new 400-amp service, five panel boards, and GFCI plugs.

In 2019, a street space permit was issued, and there are historical records of reroofing work from 1990 and a compliance-related project from 1985. The property has undergone regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services, with the most recent inspection occurring in 2008. A notable cluster of violations was documented in January 2004, primarily related to fire safety, including requirements for automatic fire sprinklers, smoke detectors, and combustible storage issues; however, all these violations were promptly abated by February 2004.

Since then, there have been no active building violations on record. The building's maintenance history shows attention to infrastructure upgrades and compliance issues, with no recent safety concerns reported. Recent external maintenance issues have been relatively minor and primarily related to street cleaning, with several 311 calls recorded for sidewalk cleaning (2022), flooding (2021), illegal postings (2020), and tree maintenance (2017).
