1200 15th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

Located in the Inner Sunset neighborhood, 1200 15th Avenue is a 3-story, 18-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1927, currently managed by Coral Manor Prpts LLC. The property has a significant recent focus on fire safety improvements, with an ongoing comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in progress as of August 2024, including the installation of low frequency sounders, new smoke detectors, pull stations, and horn/strobe units in common areas.

There is also an active open violation from December 2023 related to sleeping area requirements that needs to be addressed. The building has had a history of fire safety concerns, including multiple fire complaints and violations between 2016 and 2024 regarding blocked exits, sprinkler systems, alarm systems, and exit maintenance, though most of these issues were corrected upon inspection. The property has undergone several major infrastructure upgrades over the years, including a complete electrical service upgrade in 2003, replacement of steam boiler and water tank in 2009, and installation of emergency and exit lights in 2010.

Historical maintenance issues have been documented through various tenant complaints, including reports of inadequate heat in 1997, visible damage and maintenance concerns in 2001, and routine inspection concerns in 2000-2002 that were subsequently abated. Recent tenant concerns have included a 2019 complaint about construction site facilities and several 2024 311 calls related to parking, sidewalk access, and street maintenance near the property. The owners have been actively addressing safety requirements, as evidenced by the recent fire alarm system upgrade and previous compliance with other safety-related matters, though some historical violations and complaints indicate past challenges with maintaining building systems and addressing tenant concerns in a timely manner.
