5914-5916 California St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-unit residential building at 5914-5916 California Street, owned by the Fei Choi Trust, is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1914 in the Lake-Presidio neighborhood. The property has undergone significant recent improvements, with major renovations occurring in 2024 including kitchen and bathroom remodels ($80,000), back staircase repairs ($20,000) addressing non-right angle stringers and dry rot, and the installation of new Mitsubishi heat pump HVAC systems. Both units received comprehensive window replacements in 2022, with 28 windows upgraded including 12 street-facing wood-clad windows and 16 vinyl windows.

The building's infrastructure has been further enhanced with new electrical wiring installations completed in March 2024 for both units, and a house trap installation completed in 2022 showing attention to basic systems maintenance. The property has experienced minimal serious incidents, with only two fire-related calls on record - a carbon monoxide incident and an electrical wiring problem, neither of which resulted in civilian injuries. A tenant buyout occurred in September 2022 for one unit at $25,000.

Recent public works interactions primarily relate to street service permits and general maintenance, with no major recurring issues noted. The building's permit history demonstrates active maintenance and modernization efforts by ownership, including a roof replacement completed in 2007 and various system upgrades since. The property has maintained compliance with city regulations, as evidenced by permit approvals and successful inspections, though there was one instance in 2024 regarding a temporary lack of valid street service permit for a portable toilet, which was subsequently resolved.
