5000 Fulton St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 5000 Fulton Street building, a 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential structure built in 1925 and currently owned by the Hwang Family Living Trust, has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges over the past few years. Most notably, the building completed a soft-story seismic retrofit in 2017 (Tier 3) at a cost of $120,000 to enhance structural stability. Recent maintenance includes a new front entry iron gate installation (2023) to improve security, replacement of the building's water lines (2024), and multiple garage repairs following a 2022 vehicle impact incident.

The property has experienced recurring issues with its boiler system, requiring multiple permit renewals between 2015-2020, though a new boiler and related equipment were installed in 2014. The building has faced several compliance and maintenance challenges, particularly in 2023-2024, when issues with the front door security and garbage area were reported and subsequently addressed. Historical violations from 2002 related to fire safety systems and 2017 regarding multiple fire code violations have been resolved.

While there was a concerning rodent infestation reported in 2007 that was addressed, current maintenance records show regular upkeep of building systems. The property has maintained active compliance with fire safety requirements, as evidenced by the completion of necessary repairs related to fire alarm systems in 2023. Recent external issues reported through 311 calls primarily relate to urban forestry and street maintenance matters, rather than building-specific concerns.
