1535 Francisco St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The three-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building at 1535 Francisco St in the Marina, owned by Garret & Anita Tom Trust, was constructed in 1925 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most notably, in 2014, a ground floor unit was legalized (424 sq. ft.) with associated fire safety upgrades including sprinkler system modifications and fire alarm improvements. The building experienced multiple fire safety inspections and violations between 2002-2016, with issues including fire extinguisher servicing, emergency exit lights, and self-closing doors, though all were resolved by June 2016.

Recent fire safety attention includes a 2022 fire alarm system upgrade to improve compliance with current standards, including low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas. The property has maintained active upkeep of essential systems, including the installation of a new sprinkler system in 1991, a kitchen and bathroom renovation of the ground floor in 2015, and electrical modifications in 2022. The building's documented history shows regular maintenance and compliance efforts, with no active violations or unresolved complaints as of the latest records. Recent maintenance activities include responses to street cleaning issues and parking enforcement, which are external to the building's operation but reflect neighborhood management.

The only fire incidents recorded were accidental alarm activations, with no injuries reported. The most recent building-related activities include a garbage and debris report in September 2024, which was resolved by Recology, and two parking enforcement cases in 2022 and 2021. The building has gone through routine inspections (2002, 2006, 2016) which have been addressed satisfactorily. The property's history suggests ongoing attention to building codes and safety systems, particularly in recent years with fire safety upgrades and regular maintenance of common areas.
