715 Commercial St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The 715 Commercial St property, located in San Francisco's Financial District North, is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, containing two legal dwelling units and currently owned by the Katherine Catlos Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past decade, with the most recent major work being a sewer lateral replacement completed in December 2022, and a water line repair in November 2016. In 2016, the legalization of the basement dwelling unit was completed, including installation of fire-rated walls and kitchen upgrades.

A substantial renovation took place in 2011, costing $127,000, which included seismic upgrades, bathroom and kitchen remodels, and the addition of three gas fireplaces. The building has maintained its infrastructure with various permitted work including electrical upgrades (200 amp service), plumbing improvements, and roof repairs. The property has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the years, notably a cluster of fire code violations in March 2020 related to alarm systems, kitchen hood cleaning, and fire extinguishers, though these were subsequently abated.

There was also a complaint in June 2011 regarding parapet work and property line issues, which was not active as of the filing. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 have primarily concerned external matters such as graffiti, sign maintenance, and sidewalk cleanliness, with one general maintenance complaint filed in January 2024. The building's documented history shows regular upkeep and addressing of code requirements, particularly in recent years, though the concentration of fire code violations in 2020 and the nature of some recent complaints suggest ongoing attention to building systems and maintenance may be required.
