5816-5818 California St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 5816-5818 California Street, built in 1984, has undergone several significant modifications and improvements over its lifetime. Most notably, in 2014, the property underwent substantial window upgrades, replacing 18 aluminum windows with $24,000 worth of fiberglass wood-clad windows and patio sliders.

The building had a series of fire safety violations in 2003 that were addressed and abated by September 2003, including issues with fire extinguishers, a fire escape ladder, and egress obstructions. More recent maintenance records show a fire alarm system correction in September 2021, indicating the owner's attention to safety systems. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations and noise complaints between 2018 and 2024, though these are typical of multi-family residential buildings.

Noteworthy structural work includes a balcony guardrail repair and stair lobby modifications completed in 2004, and header and post work completed in 2005, suggesting ongoing maintenance of common areas. The building's history includes efforts to resolve unauthorized unit issues in 2000, after which the three-unit configuration appears to have been properly established. Two missing side sewer vent cover complaints were investigated in 2016, though no issues were found at the location.
