5604 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94112

The 16-unit apartment building at 5604 Mission Street in the Outer Mission neighborhood, built in 1959 and owned by Faziola Hilda Trustee, has undergone significant safety upgrades in recent years, particularly focusing on fire safety systems. In 2023-2024, the building completed a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas, replacement of existing system components, and compliance with relevant fire codes, with costs totaling approximately $30,000. The building completed important earthquake safety improvements with a soft-story retrofit in 2015 (at a cost of $65,000), demonstrating commitment to structural safety.

The building has a documented history of fire safety concerns, including a stove fire incident in 2012 that resulted in soot damage, though the building's current fire safety upgrades suggest improved safety measures. Historical violations from 2000-2004 included various fire safety issues such as problems with smoke detectors, fire escapes, and garbage management, though these were all eventually resolved. More recently, in early 2024, there were fire safety violations related to alarm system maintenance and sleeping area requirements, with the latter being abated.

The building has undergone regular routine inspections, with the most recent inspections focusing on fire safety compliance and system maintenance. Recent 311 calls and fire complaints indicate ongoing attention to building safety and maintenance, with most issues being promptly resolved. The building's documented history shows a pattern of addressing safety concerns through proper permits and improvements, particularly focusing on fire safety systems in the past two years.
