1474-1480 15th St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 6-unit, 3-story apartment building at 1474-1480 15th Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Paul T & Mai V Le since 2002, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various regulatory challenges since its construction in 1911. Most notably, the building is classified as Tier 3 Non-Compliant under the soft story program, with a mitigation attempt in 2014 involving wall strengthening at the storage level with a $57,000 budget, though this permit ultimately expired.

Recent electrical upgrades were completed in 2019, including the replacement of the electrical service from 100 to 200 amps, indicating ongoing efforts to maintain and modernize the building's infrastructure. The property has a documented history of fire safety concerns, with two routine safety inspections (2003 and 2008) revealing multiple violations that were subsequently abated, including issues with fire extinguishers, fire proofing materials, and smoke detector installations. While these violations are no longer active, they reflect past compliance challenges.

The building's maintenance history includes window replacements (2013), kitchen and bathroom renovations (2002), stair repairs (2002), and a roofing project (1998). Planning records show a past investigation into possible illegal short-term rentals, which was closed and abated. The surrounding area has experienced regular street cleaning needs as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024, though these are external to the building itself.
