1560 Green St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The three-story, multi-family residential building at 1560 Green Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Denise McCarthy, was constructed in 1914 and contains 7 units. The building has undergone several significant safety improvements in recent years, most notably a 2024 modification of its fire alarm system to install low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to comply with current fire code requirements, and a comprehensive seismic retrofit completed in 2014 under FEMA guidelines.

The property has a documented history of safety inspections, with the most recent routine safety inspection occurring in 2016, and previously addressed violations from 2001 related to fire escape drop ladders, handrails, and gas shutoff tools, all of which were abated by January 2002. Recent maintenance activities include the repair of a damaged utility vault cover near the property in November 2023 and several historical roof replacements in the late 1990s.

The building has been classified as a Tier 3 soft-story structure, with the required retrofit work completed and a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) issued. In recent months, there have been multiple reports of driveway blocking incidents near the property, with several resulting in citations issued between September and October 2023, though most responding officers were unable to locate the offending vehicles. The property has demonstrated ongoing compliance with housing safety requirements, though regular inspections and maintenance of building systems suggest active management of resident safety and comfort.
