1500 15th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-unit residential building at 1500 15th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1938, currently owned by Lew Loren. The building's documented history shows various maintenance and safety concerns over the years, with the most significant being a set of fire complaints between 2009 and 2021, including issues with combustible materials (2009), alarm systems (2015), and an uncategorized complaint in 2021, though all were resolved with "No Merit" or "Condition Corrected" status.

Historical building maintenance records show a repair project from 1987 involving work on the base rear wall, porch, and window sashes, though this permit has since expired. In recent months (2024), the property has experienced numerous urban challenges primarily related to parking issues, with multiple complaints about vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks, some resulting in citations.

There has also been one report of an abandoned vehicle and another case involving debris that required Recology's intervention, all of which have been resolved. From an environmental maintenance perspective, there was a positive development in August 2024 when Urban Trails cleared vegetation from the stair corridor, though there's currently an open complaint regarding a pavement defect that remains unresolved. The building's basic structure and systems appear generally to have maintained compliance with safety requirements, given that the majority of historical fire complaints were found to have no merit, with only one requiring correction.
