1501 15th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 1501 15th Avenue in the Inner Sunset neighborhood was constructed in 1936 and has undergone several significant renovations over the past three decades. The most substantial recent improvement was completed in 2014, involving both vertical and horizontal extensions at the rear of the second floor to create an exercise and entertainment room with a wet bar, at a cost of $70,000. This was preceded by a series of bathroom and kitchen renovations between 2012-2013, including the addition of a second bathroom for the second bedroom, complete bathroom remodels, and kitchen updates with new fixtures and electrical work.

The building's infrastructure has been maintained through various projects, including reroofing (1997), a horizontal addition (1997), and a social room and kitchen remodeling project (1988). Recent maintenance issues have been documented through 311 calls, with the most concerning being a sewage backup incident from a side sewer vent in June 2024. The property has experienced recurring issues with graffiti and public cleanliness, with multiple reports between 2023-2024.

There have been three instances of graffiti affecting different surfaces around the property in 2024, though most were promptly resolved. The building underwent various system upgrades in 2016, including electrical work with new lighting and receptacles, plumbing updates including new fixtures, and the installation of two wall heaters with gas lines. While the property has seen regular maintenance and improvements, the recent sewage issue and recurring exterior cleanliness problems may impact resident experience. The most significant improvements have generally focused on upgrading residential amenities, particularly in the bathrooms and kitchen areas, while maintaining the building's structural integrity through various extensions and renovations.
