5502-5508 California St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The property at 5502-5508 California Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1917, currently owned by Robert C. Larissou. The building underwent several significant improvements in 2011, including the installation of a new 200-amp electrical service and the replacement of three water heaters with gas testing.

Prior to this, the building received a new roof in 2006 at a cost of $8,500. The building is seismically prepared, having received foundation bolting and stucco repairs following earthquake damage in 1990, and the plumbing system was notably upgraded in 2011. A substantial series of fire safety violations was recorded in July 2003, including issues with combustible storage, egress obstructions, and fire proofing materials, all of which were resolved by August 2003.

Earlier complaints from the mid-1990s indicated various maintenance issues including window leaks, peeling paint, and plumbing problems, though these were also subsequently addressed. The most recent documented incident was related to smoke or odor removal, though no civilian injuries were reported. While there have been multiple recent 311 calls in the vicinity (2024), these primarily concern sidewalk blockages, graffiti, and parking issues near the property rather than internal building problems.
