1540-1542 Mcallister St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The property at 1540-1542 McAllister St is a three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900 in the Alamo Square neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements over the years, most notably a major electrical upgrade in 2017 that included installation of new panels, breakers, and bonding systems.

In 2011, the building received a plumbing upgrade with the addition of new gas meters for individual units. More recent concerns have emerged regarding the building's seismic safety, with complaints filed in late 2020 indicating it is a soft-story structure that had not been registered under the city's mandate, though this issue appears in both active and inactive complaint status. Historical maintenance work includes addressing dry rot issues in the back stairs in 2009 and the addition of a garage in 1999.

Several routine safety inspections have been conducted over the years, including one in 2017, though most have been marked as "Not Active." A significant plumbing issue was reported in 1997 regarding sewage problems affecting neighboring properties, which remains listed as active. The building's recent history shows typical urban challenges such as graffiti and parking issues, with multiple 311 calls between 2012 and 2022, primarily related to street cleaning, sidewalk parking, and illegal postings. A carbon monoxide detector was activated in the building with no reported injuries, representing the most recent safety-related incident on record.
