1530 Francisco St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The property at 1530 Francisco St is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1924, currently owned by San Francisco Ladies Protection. The building has undergone significant safety and infrastructure improvements in recent years, particularly in 2013 when major upgrades were implemented including the installation of a new fire sprinkler system, comprehensive electrical rewiring, new plumbing systems, and fire alarm systems with smoke detectors and horns throughout the building. Additional improvements were made in 2019 with window replacements in Unit 3.

The building's safety history shows substantial attention to fire safety, with multiple fire violations being addressed in 2002, including issues with stairs, fire proofing, and smoke detectors, though all were resolved by May 2002. The property underwent major renovations between 2012-2013 that included kitchen and bathroom updates, creation of new common areas, and significant safety system upgrades. Recent maintenance issues have been minimal, with the most recent 311 complaint from July 2024 regarding smoke detectors in common areas being resolved by November 2024.

The property has had routine housing inspections in 2002, 2006, and 2016, and while there were multiple fire safety violations in 2002, these were promptly addressed. A notable historical context involves allegations (now closed with no violation found) regarding unauthorized use of neighboring properties by Heritage, though this was determined not to be a violation. The building's recent history (2019-2023) shows no significant safety violations or complaints, with most recent 311 calls relating to parking and driveway issues rather than building safety concerns.
