4739 California St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 4739 California Street in the Inner Richmond, owned by Robert Lee and Judy K., was constructed in 1950 and has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance events over its history. Most recently, a re-roofing project costing $22,000 was issued in January 2025. The building has faced several notable compliance and safety issues, particularly in 2003 when multiple violations were recorded related to fire safety, including egress obstruction, combustible storage, and the need for smoke detectors, all of which were abated by July 2003.

A 2011 complaint regarding exterior paint peeling led to findings of lead paint hazards, requiring remediation of damaged/peeling front exterior paint. The building has shown ongoing maintenance activity, with window replacements completed in Unit 4 in 2019, and routine exterior issues being addressed, including a 2009 violation regarding exterior exit stairs. Historical complaints from the mid-1990s noted serious conditions including rodent problems and deteriorating building conditions, though these were resolved and there have been no similar complaints in recent years.

The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to violations, as evidenced by prompt abatement of most issues within reasonable timeframes. Recent activity at the property has been minimal, primarily consisting of routine maintenance and required improvements rather than emergency repairs or significant habitability concerns. While there have been multiple reports of parking issues and abandoned vehicles in the vicinity over the past five years, these are street-related matters not directly impacting the building's condition or management.
