1560 Mcallister St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1560 McAllister Street, built in 1926 and currently owned by Marquita V Truste Lightfoot, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance upgrades in recent years. The property is in compliance with San Francisco's soft-story retrofit requirements (Tier 3, Work Complete, CFC Issued), and a fire alarm system upgrade was recently filed in November 2024 to include low frequency sounders in residential units.

Notable historical improvements include a $28,500 reroofing project completed in 2019, and in 2017 the building underwent a substantial $75,000 soft-story retrofit. The building has experienced various maintenance and safety issues over the years, with the most concerning recent incidents occurring in 2023 when multiple complaints were filed about a stuck front door preventing emergency egress, described as a "fire hazard." The property has a history of plumbing and heating system upgrades, including the installation of a replacement steam boiler in 2010 and various unit renovations between 2007-2008.

Multiple fire system-related issues have been documented, with violations related to fire escape maintenance (2004) and alarm systems (2007, 2015, 2016, 2021). The building experienced significant water damage in 2012 affecting multiple floors (units 3, 7, and 11) due to a broken pipe. While there have been several building complaints over the years regarding unauthorized work, including concerns about decorative molding removal (2011) and unauthorized remodeling (2012), most of these issues were promptly addressed and resolved.
