15-19 Noe St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The three-story multi-family residential building at 15-19 Noe Street in Duboce Triangle, owned by Leonard R Chetelat Lvg Tr 1, has undergone significant safety and habitability improvements over the past few years. The 6-unit structure, built in 1900, completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2022 at a cost of $80,000, and has implemented comprehensive fire safety upgrades including a new fire sprinkler system for the first floor ($15,000) and a modernized fire alarm system ($13,800) in 2022-2023.

The building underwent a notable improvement in 2022 with the legalization of unit 15C, adding 553 square feet of living space with a bathroom and kitchen. The property has had its share of maintenance challenges, including historical issues with fire, electrical outages, and water damage in the 1990s, though these were all resolved. Recent building upgrades have included plumbing improvements with new water pipes and sewer systems installed in 2023, and various electrical system improvements.

The building's fire safety record shows several alarm activations over the years, though all were either unintentional or due to system malfunctions, with no civilian injuries ever recorded. Recent 311 calls from January 2025 primarily relate to street and sidewalk maintenance issues rather than building-specific concerns. The property's current status reflects compliance with major building safety requirements, with no active violations or open complaints regarding the building's condition or safety systems.
