5598 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94112

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 5598 Mission Street in the Outer Mission neighborhood, owned by Guerrero V Espinoza Trust, was constructed in 1958 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015 at a cost of $53,000, and is currently in the process of upgrading its fire safety systems with a $21,800 fire alarm system upgrade to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas.

The building has a documented history of addressing various safety and maintenance issues, including a sprinkler installation for the garbage chute in 2007, window replacements in 2009 (upgrading from aluminum to vinyl frames), and vinyl siding installation in 2004. The property has experienced several maintenance challenges, particularly related to water damage, as evidenced by multiple complaints in 2016 regarding plumbing issues, including leaks from a dishwasher and bathroom flooding. This led to several violation notices related to water damage and fire safety systems, though these violations were ultimately abated.

The building's infrastructure has been maintained through various upgrades, including a hot water heater replacement in 2013 and reroofing work (though records for this permit have expired). Recent 311 calls from 2022-2025 primarily relate to street-level maintenance issues such as garbage and sidewalk cleaning, which while not directly related to the building's condition, may impact the resident experience of the immediate area. The building has had routine housing inspections over the years, with all documented violations being resolved through appropriate corrective actions.
