4939 California St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 4939 California Street is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1968 and currently owned by Yee Company LLC. The building underwent several significant improvements in the 2010s, including a window replacement project in 2014 where six street-facing windows were upgraded to energy-efficient fiberglass windows with a U-factor of 0.32.

A notable series of violations was recorded in March 2017 during an annual routine inspection, primarily related to fire safety and building maintenance issues, including problems with fire proofing materials, fire escape maintenance, drainage pipes, and the lack of carbon monoxide detectors. These violations were all resolved by April 10, 2017, indicating prompt attention to safety concerns. The building’s maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with a fireplace installation permit (though now expired) filed in 2015 and a street space permit issued in 2015.

The property has undergone multiple routine housing inspections over the years (1996, 2003, 2009, and 2017), which is typical for multi-family residential buildings to ensure code compliance. Recent external maintenance issues documented through 311 calls primarily relate to street and sidewalk cleaning matters outside the building, with the most recent incident concerning flooding reported in January 2023. The building’s record shows compliance with major safety inspections and permits, though the expired fireplace permit may require attention to confirm current status.
