1502-1508 Cabrillo St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 4-unit multi-family residential building at 1502-1508 Cabrillo Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Mahon Family Trust, has undergone significant changes since its construction in 1921. The most notable event was a serious fire incident in late 2019 that resulted in building damage and one civilian injury, classified as intentional and requiring emergency response by the Fire Department.

Following the fire, the building underwent extensive repairs and upgrades in 2020 and 2021, including a $325,000 repair project to address the fire damage, the installation of a new comprehensive fire alarm system with monitoring capabilities (costing $16,142), and complete renovations of affected units including kitchens, living rooms, and bathrooms. The building has also received important safety upgrades, including a new 400-amp overhead service installation and partial rewiring of common areas in 2021. Recent improvements include the completion of sewer and house trap replacements in September 2023, demonstrating ongoing maintenance of infrastructure.

The building has addressed past violations, particularly those related to fire safety and sanitation from 2003-2004, and most recent fire-related violations from 2019-2020 have been abated. The property has required multiple plumbing and electrical permits in recent years, indicating ongoing maintenance and modernization efforts. While there have been various 311 calls regarding the property in recent years (including issues like sidewalk parking, garbage, and graffiti), these appear to be typical urban maintenance matters and not directly related to building safety or habitability concerns.
