1215 Bay St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1215 Bay Street in the Marina, owned by Johnson L & Diana W Chiao T, was constructed in 1923 and has undergone significant recent improvements. Between 2020-2021, five units (5, 6, 9, 10, and 11) received comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels, including new appliances, fixtures, and electrical work, with project costs ranging from $13,000 to $36,000.

The building underwent major maintenance in 2020, including reroofing ($77,500) and the installation of washer/dryer facilities with associated plumbing work. Of particular note, the building experienced fire damage in 2015 affecting multiple units (3, 7, 11) and common areas, requiring repairs and prompting the replacement of fire-damaged windows. More recently, in 2023, fire safety inspections identified issues with extinguishers and alarm systems, though these were promptly corrected.

The building has a Tier 3 soft-story status indicating that seismic retrofit work has been completed. Historical violations primarily relate to heating system issues, egress obstruction, and alarm system maintenance, but these have all been resolved. The property's maintenance record shows regular updates to individual units and infrastructure, though there was one instance of unauthorized smoking reported in 2017 and some concerns about random noise in 2015.
