299 5th St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The two-story multi-family residential building at 299 5th Street, owned by Hado LLC, was constructed in 1998 and contains 2 units. The property has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over its lifetime, with the most substantial work occurring in 2008-2009 when the first floor underwent major tenant improvements including the addition of office spaces, a restroom, and a demonstration kitchen, along with associated electrical, plumbing, and fire sprinkler work.

Several fire safety modifications were implemented during this period, including the relocation of four fire sprinkler heads on the ground floor. In recent months, the building has faced some ongoing maintenance and aesthetic issues, with an active complaint filed in May 2024 regarding mismatched exterior paint colors and graffiti cover-ups.

The property has experienced multiple fire alarm activations over the years, though all were determined to be false alarms or unintentional activations, and there was one documented cooking incident that was contained and did not result in injuries. The building's infrastructure has been regularly maintained, as evidenced by various permits and inspections, though there have been some recent infrastructure concerns in the vicinity including pavement defects and sidewalk issues reported in December 2024. The property has a documented history of fire safety inspections and occasional violations, though none appear to have resulted in significant penalties or safety concerns when resolved.
