1500-1504 Mcallister St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 10-unit, 3-story apartment building at 1500-1504 McAllister Street in Alamo Square, owned by Nicholas Sollitt, has undergone significant renovations since its construction in 1904, with major systems upgrades completed between 2015-2018. Most notably, the building experienced a serious fire incident in February 2015 that rendered all 9 housing units temporarily uninhabitable, followed by a series of comprehensive repairs and system upgrades including a new 13-sprinkler system, radiant heat installations, complete plumbing overhauls, and an electrical service upgrade to 400A with multi-meter distribution.

The building has also completed mandatory seismic retrofit work as a Tier 3 soft-story building, and recent fire safety inspections in 2023 indicated proper functioning of fire extinguishers and alarm systems, though there was one reported civilian injury during the 2015 fire. The property has a history of addressing various maintenance and safety issues, including a cluster of violations in March 2014 related to plumbing, interior surfaces, electrical outlets, building structure, and fire safety, all of which were abated by June 2014.

Recent months (2023-2024) have shown several street-level maintenance issues being reported through 311 calls, primarily related to garbage and debris on the property exterior, with the most recent case involving graffiti reported in December 2024. The building's permit history shows consistent maintenance and upgrading of building systems, with the most recent significant work being the installation of new operable gates and windows at the ground floor in 2018.
