5 Hallam St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 6-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 5 Hallam Street was constructed in 2016 by 5 Hallam Street LLC, following a complete build-out process that included the installation of comprehensive safety systems. The building's construction (2013-2016) included the installation of a fire sprinkler system, standpipe system, and a modern fire alarm system with monitoring capabilities. During construction, there was one complaint about early morning and late-night construction noise (February 2016) that was not officially abated.

Since the building's completion, there have been recurring fire safety system issues that required attention and corrections. Most recently, in July 2024, a violation was issued regarding sprinkler system maintenance, and in August 2024, issues with fire extinguishers were identified and corrected in November 2024. Previous maintenance issues were documented in 2017, when violations were issued for problems with the fire alarm system, sprinklers, emergency lighting, and fire extinguishers - all of which were subsequently abated. Between 2018 and 2029, there have been multiple smoke detector activations recorded with no fires or injuries reported.

The building's infrastructure was thoroughly equipped during construction, including plumbing systems for six units, laundry facilities, and complete electrical wiring. There have been several 311 calls regarding street-related issues near the building between 2024-2025, primarily concerning illegal parking and garbage debris, though most of these cases were closed as "Unable to Locate" or resolved. While the building's construction included all modern safety systems, the recurring nature of fire safety system maintenance issues suggests that residents should remain attentive to building safety notices and maintenance updates. The building's systems have generally been responsive to faults, with most issues being corrected upon inspection or notification.
