5036-5044 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94112

The property at 5036-5044 Mission Street in Mission Terrace is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Arsenio X. Lopez and Maria Lui.

The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a $24,000 exterior painting and window replacement project in 2015, and various structural and aesthetic updates in the early 1990s such as reroofing, new canvas awning installation, and modifications to entry doors and bathroom facilities. A notable incident occurred in 2007 when a proposal to establish a medical cannabis dispensary, "Re-Leaf Herbal Center," was subject to Discretionary Review and ultimately disapproved by the Planning Commission. Of particular concern are recent fire safety issues, with multiple Fire Code violations documented between 2021 and 2024, including two violations issued in September 2024 and June 2024 related to permits.

While several fire incidents have occurred at the property, none resulted in civilian injuries, and most were related to false alarms, detector activations, or service calls. The building has also been the subject of an active complaint regarding a vacant store filed in May 2023, and there have been numerous reports of garbage and debris on the property in late 2024, with eight such incidents recorded between December 11, 2024, and January 9, 2025. These recent sanitation issues and ongoing fire safety violations suggest there are persistent maintenance and compliance challenges affecting the building.
