4529-4531 California St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 4529-4531 California St is a 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1909 in the Inner Richmond neighborhood, currently owned by Tom Janie. The building's maintenance record indicates several significant repairs and improvements over the past decades, including termite damage repairs in 1987, kitchen alterations in 1989, and a comprehensive compliance update in 1984.

A notable cluster of building violations was documented in April 2004, primarily related to fire safety and security, including issues with fire extinguishers, combustible storage, and entry door viewers, though all were promptly addressed and abated by June 2004. The property has experienced multiple sewer-related incidents between 2015 and 2020, with six documented sewage backup events affecting the 4-inch sewer vent, all of which were resolved through city services.

More recent issues include a noise complaint in March 2023 and a garbage/debris incident in November 2024. The most recent maintenance activity on record is from 2007, involving street space modifications. While the building appears to have addressed its major maintenance and safety violations from 2004, the recurring sewer issues over several years suggest this may be a persistent infrastructure challenge.
