5166-5170 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94112

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 5166-5170 Mission Street, owned by Esau A. and Esperanza Zambrano, was constructed in 1925 and stands three stories tall in the Outer Mission neighborhood. The property is currently facing several significant active building violations issued in June 2024, including issues with interior surfaces, window repairs, drainage pipes, smoke detection systems, handrails, and weather protection, with the most recent notices of violation (NOVs) being issued in August 2024.

Most notably, there is an active complaint regarding broken windows and deteriorating carpets. Recent maintenance work has included plumbing repairs to the exterior drainage pipes and installation of handrails in August 2024 to comply with violations, as well as completed re-roofing work costing $23,900. Historical complaints from 1998 and 2017 indicate past issues with inadequate heating and unauthorized property modifications, though these are no longer active. The building's maintenance history shows ongoing attention to safety features, particularly regarding stairs, with repairs made in 2015 and 2024.

The property has experienced some infrastructure challenges, as evidenced by a 2023 sewage backup incident and a missing side sewer vent cover in 2020, both of which were resolved. A restaurant use, Boos Voni Tortas, was approved at the address in 2018 under the owners Carlos Santos and his wife. The building has a history of graffiti issues documented through 311 calls between 2018 and 2020, though these appear to have been addressed. The concentration of recent building violations in 2024, particularly regarding safety features like smoke detectors and handrails, suggests ongoing compliance issues that are currently being addressed through recent permit work.
