1840-1850 15th St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1840-1850 15th Street in Mission Dolores, owned by Mauricio A. Solis, was constructed in 1912 and has undergone several significant improvements, most notably a completed soft-story retrofit in 2015 that included plywood shearwalls, which is essential for seismic safety. The building experienced substantial damage in 2011 from both fire and water incidents, requiring a significant renovation project ($25,000) to rebuild a fire-damaged rooftop stair enclosure and replace water-damaged lath and plaster in multiple units.

Electrical infrastructure improvements have been made, including the recent December 2024 replacement of the 100A main panel, previously a Federal Pacific unit, addressing an important safety concern. Unit 1850 received specific renovations in 2012 including plaster replacement and improved fire-resistant materials. The property has had routine safety inspections, with the most recent in 2020 resulting in several violations related to fire safety, structural maintenance, and smoke detection systems, all of which were abated by July 2021.

Historical violations from 2003 included various safety and security issues that were also resolved. While the building's core systems have seen significant upgrades, including electrical panel replacement and soft-story retrofitting, there have been some recent maintenance concerns on the property, particularly regarding sidewalk cleaning and graffiti on mailboxes as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in late 2024 and early 2025. The building has experienced several fire-related service calls in the past, though none resulted in civilian injuries, and records indicate system activations and minor electrical issues that were promptly addressed. The property now holds a Tier 3 soft-story rating with work completed and a CFC issued, indicating compliance with current seismic safety requirements.
