2294-2298 15th St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 2294-2298 15th Street in Duboce Triangle, owned by Howard L Grothe Jr Revoc Tr, has undergone several significant renovations since its construction in 1902. The most substantial work occurred in 2005-2009, including a major $125,000 renovation that remodeled two kitchens and two bathrooms with additional powder rooms, window replacements, new lighting fixtures, and associated electrical and plumbing work.

The building experienced serious issues in 2001, when multiple violations were documented regarding lead paint hazards and structural concerns, specifically related to stairs, though these were abated by June 2001. Additional maintenance records show plumbing work in 2009 involving new sewer infrastructure, and earlier in 1987-1988 there were repairs performed following smoke damage and work on a side porch. More recently, the building has faced some ongoing maintenance challenges, with a 1997 complaint about an open trench for side sewer work that remains active as of 2023.

Recent inspections in 2023 noted issues with paint scrapping containment. The building's vicinity has experienced various neighborhood maintenance issues in 2024, including multiple instances of graffiti on public infrastructure (signal boxes) and some sidewalk defects, though these are managed by city agencies and not directly related to the building's condition. The most recent documented issue as of October 2023 involves a pavement defect reported in January 2025, though it's currently under city jurisdiction.
