6112 California St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 6112 California Street, owned by Dennis & Donna Wong, was constructed in 1960 in the Lake -- The Presidio neighborhood. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history, most notably in July 2003 when multiple fire safety violations were documented, including problems with fire proofing, combustible storage, egress obstructions, fire extinguisher maintenance, central alarm system repairs, smoke enclosure door closers, fire escape ladder maintenance, and the need for a gas utility shutoff tool - all of which were abated by August 2003. In 2007-2008, there were serious concerns about the garage area including exposed leaking pipes, mold/mildew, inadequate lighting, and unsafe electrical cords, though these issues were eventually resolved.

The building underwent some exterior maintenance in 2000, including stucco repairs and removal of stucco face, and in 2008 a gas water heater was properly raised to code compliance. A more recent issue arose in 2015 regarding lead-based paint concerns, which were addressed within a month. Recent history shows ongoing maintenance and safety attention is required at this location, though most issues have been addressed promptly.

The building's exterior has required various repairs and maintenance, including a street space permit in 2015 and a significant focus on weatherproofing and paint maintenance. Recent 311 calls from 2020 to 2024 have primarily concerned the surrounding area rather than the building itself, with reports of sidewalk cleaning needs, waste management issues, and shared space violations. While the building has had its share of challenges, the majority of documented violations and complaints have been resolved, though some recurring maintenance issues are evident in the property history.
