15-17 Macondray Ln, San Francisco, CA 94133

This two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building, located at 15-17 Macondray Lane in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, was constructed in 1900 and is currently owned by Barbary Mac LLC. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most recent being a complete reroofing project in 2021 costing $9,000. Historical records show work in 1984 to address dry rot issues and replace deck railings, and an attempted bathroom addition in 2006 that was ultimately cancelled.

The building has experienced recurring fire safety system inspections and maintenance issues, particularly between 2016 and 2022, including concerns with alarm systems, sprinkler/standpipe systems, and blocked exits, though most were resolved with "Condition Corrected" designations. Recent infrastructure issues near the property include two open cases from early 2024 regarding tree root damage to sidewalks and a public stairway defect. The building has an established history of addressing both ordinary maintenance and periodic fire safety inspections, with most issues being promptly resolved.

The property has experienced an increase in maintenance and safety issues in the surrounding area in 2024, with multiple reports of graffiti, sidewalk cleanliness concerns, and illegal parking incidents. While social service and environmental issues have been documented in the vicinity, the building itself has maintained compliance with building codes and safety requirements, as evidenced by the relatively quick resolution of fire safety concerns and completion of necessary repairs. Historical records show the property has adhered to necessary permitting requirements, including a variance modification approved in 1957 related to lot area and rear yard requirements. Recent fire incidents have been limited to non-threatening situations, including false alarms and routine elevator rescues, with no reported civilian injuries.
