5618 California St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 5618 California Street, owned by the Roman Catholic Archbishop O, was constructed in 1960. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related interventions over the years, including two reroofing projects (in 1992 and 2003), the installation of two LiftMaster garage door openers in 2003, and rear stairway repairs in 1994. The property was subject to two routine housing inspections, one in 2001 and another in 2008, where multiple violations were identified, particularly concerning fire safety, with issues related to fire extinguisher maintenance, egress obstruction, and garbage receptacle placement.

The 2001 inspection revealed problems with the central alarm system and various plumbing and electrical systems, while the 2008 inspection noted concerns about stair conditions. All identified violations were marked as abated, with the 2008 inspection closing in August 2008. Recent activity at the property has been limited to external maintenance issues, with several 311 calls regarding sidewalk conditions between 2019 and 2024, including reports of garbage, cleaning needs, and graffiti.

Notably, there were multiple instances of waste management issues reported through 311 calls, with the most recent involving garbage and debris in June 2024. One noise complaint was recorded in July 2020, but no specific building-related violations or complaints have been filed in recent years. The building's documented history shows a pattern of addressing major systems and safety concerns promptly, though the concentration of violations during the 2001 and 2008 inspections suggests periods of maintenance and safety system management challenges.
