5519-5525 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94112

The 14-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 5519-5525 Mission Street in the Croker Amazon neighborhood was constructed in 1961 and is currently owned by 5519 Mission G1 Lp. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, including a $65,000 soft-story upgrade completed in 2017 to improve seismic safety, and multiple unit renovations including kitchen and bathroom remodels in Units 101 and 107, and a $40,000 fire alarm system upgrade in 2020 to comply with fire code requirements. The building has experienced recurring issues with mold and ventilation problems, particularly affecting Units 204 and 205 between 2018 and 2021, with residents reporting persistent dampness and ceiling condensation problems.

More recently, there have been consistent fire alarm system maintenance violations, with citations issued in 2022, 2023 (June and November), and most recently in November 2023, though these have typically been abated promptly. The building maintained its soft-story compliance status under Tier 3, indicating completed seismic improvements. The property history includes multiple exterior and infrastructure maintenance projects, such as reroofing work in 2021 ($30,000) and window replacements in 2019.

Historical violations from 2000 related to fire safety and equipment were resolved within two months. Recent activity includes several 311 calls in late 2024 regarding garbage and debris management around the property, though these primarily relate to street cleaning issues rather than building maintenance. The building's management has demonstrated ongoing investment in property maintenance and safety improvements, though some recurring systems (notably the fire alarm system) continue to generate violations requiring attention.
