2715 Cabrillo St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 24-unit apartment building at 2715 Cabrillo Street in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Hoffman Rudolph A & Stephan, has undergone several significant upgrades and repairs since its construction in 1928. Most recently, in October 2023, the building completed an upgrade to its fire alarm system to meet current requirements, including installing low-frequency sounders and achieving 75dB minimum in sleeping areas. The building has demonstrated commitment to safety through various important improvements, including completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015 (Tier 2) and multiple plumbing upgrades such as a new efficient hot water heater installation in 2021 and a complete sewer replacement in 2018.

Of particular note are several historical concerns that have since been addressed. In 2016, there were complaints about structural discrepancies in the northwest corner of the building, though these were addressed following the completion of necessary repairs. The building has undergone multiple major systems upgrades, including steam boiler replacements in 2016 and 2021, gas piping repairs to all units in 2020, and kitchen and bathroom remodeling projects.

Fire safety has been an ongoing focus, with violations related to fire extinguishers and alarm systems in 2019 and 2023 that were promptly addressed. While there were several maintenance issues noted in the early 2000s regarding fire escapes, smoke enclosure doors, and stairs, these were all abated by 2004. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to both routine upkeep and compliance with evolving safety standards, with all documented violations being resolved in a timely manner.
