1564 15th St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 4-unit, 2-story apartment building at 1564 15th Street in the Inner Mission, built in 1928 and owned by the Roque Fernandes Family Trust, has experienced several significant events over its history. Most notably, from 2020-2021, the property underwent a period of multiple violations including broken window panes and fire extinguisher maintenance issues, all of which were ultimately abated by August 2021. The building's systems have required regular attention, as evidenced by multiple fire alarm system complaints and corrections between 2020 and the most recent incident in November 2023.

Three fire-related incidents were recorded, including two smoke detector activations and one CO detector malfunction, though fortunately none resulted in civilian injuries or actual fires. The property has a documented history of maintenance issues, including a 1998 complaint about lack of hot water affecting all units, and a concerning 2006 incident involving unauthorized interior renovations and debris disposal. A re-roofing project was initiated in 1997 but the associated permit expired.

More recent challenges include multiple 311 calls in January 2025 regarding graffiti and sidewalk debris, with some issues still marked as open in the system. While the building has experienced various maintenance and safety concerns over the years, the prompt correction of violations and the absence of serious fire incidents suggest that most issues have been addressed in a timely manner. The presence of recurring fire alarm system activations indicates ongoing attention required for building safety systems, though these activations have consistently been found to be unintentional.
