1555-1559 Mcallister St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The four-unit, four-story multi-family residential building at 1555-1559 McAllister Street was constructed in 1903 and is currently owned by Barry Dermot. The property has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past several years, with major work completed between 2017-2019 including the installation of sprinklers throughout the ground floor, a comprehensive electrical rewiring with a 300-amp service upgrade, plumbing upgrades for all units, and various window replacements. The building now has a basement ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) that was created under permitted work in 2016-2017.

There were three building complaints filed in 2017-2018 regarding unpermitted work and modifications to the rear yard, though these complaints were marked as not active. A routine housing inspection in 2009 resulted in several violations related to security and safety requirements, including issues with exterior doors, gas shutoff tools, and wood stairs, but these were abated in 2010. More recently, there was an elevator malfunction reported in early 2024, though this complaint was found to have no merit upon investigation.

The property has experienced ongoing parking enforcement issues in the vicinity, with multiple reports of vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks between 2023-2024. There have also been several sanitation-related service calls regarding garbage and debris on the street between 2023-2024, though these were generally resolved promptly. The recent history of the building indicates substantial investment in safety features and infrastructure upgrades, particularly in 2018-2019, including the installation of a sprinkler monitoring system and various safety improvements.
