1501 10th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 8-unit multi-family residential building at 1501 10th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Mcfadden Family Trust, has undergone several significant safety upgrades since 2017. Most recently, in October 2023, the building completed a fire alarm system upgrade costing over $29,000 to meet current San Francisco Fire Code requirements, following a June 2023 modification that included installing low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas.

The building successfully completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (Tier 3), demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. The property has a documented history of fire safety improvements, including addressing multiple violations identified during a 2002 inspection related to fire escape obstructions, fire extinguisher maintenance, and other safety concerns, all of which were abated by October 2002.

Other notable building improvements include a reroofing project in 2006 ($13,500), stairway repairs in 2002, and the installation of aluminum windows in 1988 and 1990. While the building has experienced some maintenance issues over the years, including a 2008 complaint about unpermitted kitchen and bathroom modifications and a 2010 routine inspection that identified some fire safety concerns, most violations have been promptly addressed. Recent 311 calls near the property have primarily concerned street maintenance issues, though there have been several reports of parking violations in the vicinity from 2021 to 2025.
