1526-1530 Broderick St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The three-unit residential building at 1526-1530 Broderick Street in Lower Pacific Heights is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1904, currently owned by 1526 Broderick Street LLC. The property has undergone several significant renovations over the past decade, with the most substantial improvements occurring in 2014, including comprehensive remodeling of two kitchens and four bathrooms, electrical system upgrades, and plumbing work across all units, with a budget of $60,000. This renovation addressed both the north and south sides of the building's dry rot issues, totaling approximately 30 square feet of repair work.

Additional improvements included a complete rewiring project in March 2014 that involved kitchen and bathroom upgrades, installation of 15 new outlets, and an electrical service upgrade to 200 amps with four meters. In July 2018, the building received a new roof at a cost of $12,000. The property has a documented history of building complaints and violations, with routine inspections conducted in 2010 and 2015 revealing several compliance issues that were subsequently abated, including violations related to fire safety, structural maintenance, and security requirements. The 2015 inspection noted deficiencies regarding fire extinguishers, safety alarms, and structural maintenance, while the 2010 inspection identified concerns with damaged ceilings and security features.

All these violations were officially resolved by January 2016. The building's maintenance history shows ongoing attention to infrastructure, including a foundation repair in 1986 and rear yard improvements in 2002. Recent plumbing work has included the installation of venting and radiator heat systems in 2014 and a gas line installation for a fireplace in 2008. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban issues as evidenced by 311 calls, mainly regarding street cleaning and parking violations, but these are external to the building itself.
