1715 Broadway, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 1715 Broadway in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1900, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements in recent years. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2017 at a cost of $150,000, receiving its Certificate of Final Completion. The property has also prioritized fire safety, with the installation of a fire alarm system in 2020 ($12,850) and recent electrical upgrades including a kitchen rewiring project in 2017.

The building's plumbing infrastructure has seen substantial improvements, with both partial and complete sewer replacements in 2022, including work on rain leaders and area drains, demonstrating ongoing maintenance of essential systems. The property has a history of addressing compliance issues, including multiple building violations and complaints in the early 2000s related to window hardware, electrical outlets, and unauthorized renovations. These were primarily resolved by February 2005.

More recent building complaints in 2017 regarding expired permits and construction hours were addressed, and the building's soft-story retrofit compliance has been confirmed. The most recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 have primarily concerned street cleaning and waste management issues outside the building, which were resolved by city services. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to structural integrity and safety systems, with completed permits indicating proper addressing of both routine maintenance and required safety improvements.
