4821-4827 California St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 4821-4827 California Street in the Inner Richmond, constructed in 1922 and currently under the ownership of Lu Hester Trustee, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past decades. Most notably, in 2016, the building underwent substantial interior renovations including kitchen and bathroom remodeling with new fixtures, cabinets, and tiles, along with electrical upgrades (though one electrical permit was cancelled).

The building's systems have been updated with the replacement of all four water heaters in 2009, and there have been important structural repairs including back stairs repair due to dry rot and siding replacement in 2001. The property experienced a temporary fire safety issue in 2004 regarding combustible storage, which was resolved within two months of being cited. Recent activity at the property has been primarily related to parking enforcement, with multiple citations issued between 2022 and 2024 for blocked driveways, suggesting ongoing issues with parking management in the vicinity.

Three fire-related incidents have been recorded, but notably, there were no civilian injuries associated with these events, including a carbon monoxide incident and a malfunctioning alarm system. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including a street space permit issued in 2017 and various plumbing and electrical work, though some permits from 2000 and 1987 for reroofing and code compliance respectively are listed as expired. The property's inspection history includes routine inspections in 1999 and 2004, both of which were resolved, demonstrating compliance with housing standards.
