5625 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94112

The 8-unit, 2-story apartment building at 5625 Mission St in the Crocker Amazon neighborhood, currently owned by the Rosi Decedents Trust, was built in 1959 and has undergone several significant safety improvements over the years. Most notably, in late 2024, the building completed a comprehensive electrical upgrade, replacing and relocating Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) panels in all eight units. Additionally, the building is currently in the process of upgrading its fire safety systems, including the replacement of the fire alarm system and the installation of low-frequency horns, with permits filed in October 2024.

The property has a completed soft-story retrofit (Tier 3) from 2016, bringing it up to modern seismic safety standards. The building has a documented history of fire safety violations and complaints, with the most recent violations recorded in September 2024 concerning evacuation plans and sprinkler system maintenance, and in September 2023 related to alarm system maintenance. Historical violations from 2015 through 2021 included issues with blocked exits, fire escape conditions, and fire extinguisher maintenance.

Regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services have occurred in 1999, 2000, 2004, 2007, and 2011, indicating ongoing monitoring of building conditions. The building has also received several upgrading improvements over the years, including window replacements (2005), reroofing projects (1991 and 2008), and various code compliance upgrades (1982 and 1983). Recent 311 calls from late 2024 show typical urban challenges in the area, including reports of debris, abandoned vehicles, and noise, though these are external to the building's internal conditions.
