5087-5091 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94112

The property at 5087-5091 Mission St, built in 1905, is a two-story multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space (barber shop), containing three residential units and completed by 2012 with proper permits. The building has undergone significant renovations and addressed numerous code compliance issues since 2009. A major unauthorized renovation was documented in 2009, when inspectors found unapproved residential units and modifications, leading to a 2012-2014 remediation process that included legalizing a two-level residential unit at the rear building with a $210,000 permitted improvement. Subsequent structural and maintenance work included dry rot repairs (2013), reroofing (2013), and various utility upgrades, totaling over $220,000 in permitted improvements.

The building experienced water damage issues in 2009, which were subsequently addressed, along with plumbing and electrical upgrades. Recent history shows some ongoing maintenance and safety concerns. In 2023, a safety complaint was filed regarding a potentially hazardous step installation at the property entrance. Prior to that, in 2014, there were complaints about heating and electrical issues, and in 2009, multiple violations related to plumbing and unauthorized modifications were documented and ultimately resolved.

The property has also been subject to periodic maintenance needs, as evidenced by recent 311 calls for graffiti removal and general cleaning in 2023-2024. The building's permit and violation history suggests active management of property maintenance and compliance, with most historical issues having been resolved through appropriate permitting or corrective actions. Recent complaints have been primarily related to external factors (e.g., street construction noise) rather than building-specific issues. The property has undergone significant improvements in building systems, including roofing, structural work, and utility systems, particularly during the 2011-2014 period when many of the historical compliance issues were addressed.
