2280 15th St, San Francisco, CA 94114

2280 15th Street is a three-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in the Duboce Triangle neighborhood, owned by John & Claudette Farrell and constructed in 1910. The property has undergone substantial renovations and upgrades between 2018 and 2024, including interior remodeling of all three units, seismic upgrades, electrical rewiring, plumbing system overhauls, and a new heating system installation. Significant structural work was performed in 2020, including the installation of a new concrete slab in the crawl space, perimeter foundation work, and roof replacement.

The building's rear egress stairs were a particular focus of attention, with multiple permits referencing their condition and required improvements between 2018 and 2020, leading to the removal of existing non-conforming stairs and replacement with new conforming stairs and decks. The renovation project, valued at over $300,000, included restoration of damaged trim and extensive interior updates to all units, with particular attention to kitchens and bathrooms. Recent activity includes two permits issued in July 2024 for final inspections of completed work, suggesting that most major renovations have now been completed.

The building has undergone regular routine housing inspections in 2001, 2006, and 2016, with no active complaints or violations noted in the recent records. While there were two sanitation-related 311 calls in July 2020 regarding human or animal waste on the street/sidewalk near the property, these were promptly resolved and do not appear to be directly related to the building's condition. The comprehensive renovation work included significant safety and comfort upgrades, such as new plumbing throughout, installation of shower pans, and a complete electrical rewiring of all apartments, as well as the implementation of a new radiant heat system. The property has maintained proper permits throughout the renovation process, with all major work documented through building, electrical, and plumbing permits.
