5352-5356 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94112

The property at 5352-5356 Mission Street is a two-story mixed-use building built in 1925, containing two residential units and commercial space, currently owned by TV Español. The building has undergone several significant changes and faced various maintenance issues over its history. Most recently, in 2020, there were commercial improvements made to the property including window graphics and a wall sign installation for Farmer's Insurance, valued at $1,200 in total. Prior to this, between 2000-2002, there were multiple permit applications and revisions related to office space additions on the first and second floors, with a notable $16,000 renovation in July 2002.

The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the years, with the most significant occurring in 2004 when multiple violations were recorded including damaged ceilings in bedroom #5 and dining area, problems with the kitchen backsplash, and general complaints about inadequate kitchen ventilation, garbage disposal issues, wall cracks, mold, and roof leaks. These issues were ultimately abated by 2012. There were also multiple parking-related complaints at the property in recent years, with several calls about vehicles blocking driveways between 2018 and 2023. A sewer backup incident was reported and resolved in August 2020.

Two significant planning applications have been recorded for the property - one in 2019 proposing to convert a second-floor dwelling unit into two separate units, and another in 2020 regarding wall and window signs for a retail service use, both of which were closed without further action. The property has a history of expired permits and permit renewals, notably in 2001 when several permits required renewal for unfinished work. Parking enforcement has been frequently required in the vicinity of the property, with multiple citations issued for blocked driveways between 2018 and 2023, indicating ongoing challenges with parking management in the area. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing violations and complaints, though some issues required multiple applications and renewals to resolve properly.
