1512 California St, San Francisco, CA 94109

1512 California Street is a three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building located in Nob Hill, constructed in 1914 and currently owned by 1512 California LLC. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past few years, with the most substantial work occurring in 2019-2022, including a comprehensive renovation of units F and G that involved reconfiguring interior layouts, updating electrical systems with new 60-amp subpanels, installing new furnaces, and renovating bathrooms and kitchens.

The building's safety systems have also seen notable upgrades, including a complete fire alarm system replacement in 2020 to comply with SFFD requirements, though this work was initially permitted in 2019. The building's maintenance history shows attention to both structural and safety elements, with earlier improvements including reroofing work completed in 2010. While there were several building violations identified in 2010 related to fire safety, gas utility shutoff requirements, and seismic bracing of hot water heaters, these were all resolved within one month of being issued.

The property has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges typical for urban settings, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding street cleaning, garbage, debris, and graffiti issues, though most of these cases were resolved promptly. Two graffiti incidents in 2023 appear to have been more persistent, with one remaining open as of September 2024. The most recent building permit activity includes window replacements in 2022, demonstrating ongoing investment in property maintenance and improvement.
