15 Cervantes Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94123

15 Cervantes Blvd is a three-story, 18-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1959, currently owned by Cervantes Property LLC. The property has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, including a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2024 costing approximately $50,000, and previous fire alarm system improvements in 2018 that involved replacing smoke detectors and control panels. The building has experienced recurring fire safety issues, with violations documented in December 2023 related to sleeping area requirements, and in February 2022 concerning combustible materials and fire extinguisher maintenance, though these have since been addressed and abated.

The most recent major unit improvement was completed in 2019 (Unit 306), featuring extensive kitchen and bathroom renovations. The building has experienced multiple false fire alarms and system malfunctions, but no civilian injuries have been reported in any fire incidents. Historical data shows earlier fire safety violations from 2001-2006, including issues with the central alarm system and fire escape conditions, which were resolved.

Recent exterior maintenance concerns have been focused on the surrounding area, with multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 reporting illegal postings, graffiti, and debris on public spaces near the property. Two new water heating systems were installed in 2017, demonstrating ongoing infrastructure improvements. The building's documented history shows consistent attention to maintenance and code compliance, particularly regarding fire safety systems, though some periodic violations and maintenance issues have occurred.
