1500 California St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1500 California Street in Nob Hill, built in 1907, contains 7 units and has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance projects over the past decade. The most recent major work was a $150,000 interior remodel in 2018, which included bathroom relocations, kitchen remodeling, and window replacements. A $20,000 reroofing project was completed in 2021.

The building has experienced recurring boiler permit issues, with multiple complaints about unrenewed permits filed between 2013-2018, though these have generally been resolved. Historical safety concerns included violations in 2005 related to egress obstruction and combustible storage under stairs, and a 2011 routine inspection revealed several issues including inadequate lighting, garbage receptacle placement, and stair repairs, all of which were subsequently addressed. The property has a mixed-use configuration, with previous commercial space activity including restaurant and bar renovations between 2007-2010, though there have been complaints about unpermitted work during this period.

Infrastructure improvements include boiler and water heater installations in 2013, various plumbing updates, and electrical system upgrades. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 indicate ongoing maintenance of the building and its surroundings, including graffiti removal and street cleaning. The building has experienced several non-serious fire-related incidents over the years, primarily related to cooking equipment or system malfunctions, with no civilian injuries reported in any incidents. The most recent commercial tenant activity involves a coffee shop with outdoor seating, though a vacant storefront complaint was filed in 2020.
