1779-1781 15th St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The two-unit residential building at 1779-1781 15th Street in Mission Dolores has undergone significant recent improvements, most notably a major vertical addition project completed in 2020 that expanded the building from three to four units and added new bedrooms. In early 2023-2024, substantial fire safety upgrades were implemented, including the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system throughout the building with dedicated fire service, followed by a sprinkler monitoring system.

The property has also seen major infrastructure improvements, such as a complete electrical rewiring in 2022, solar panel installations in 2017 and 2024, and multiple plumbing system upgrades, including kitchen and bathroom remodels across different units. Despite these improvements, there have been some ongoing concerns. Most notably, there is currently an active complaint filed in June 2024 regarding early-morning construction noise (6 AM - 6 PM) that has reportedly been disturbing neighbors, along with some historical concerns about construction impact on neighboring properties' light and air in 2022.

The building had a series of housing violations in 2018, including issues with plumbing, electrical systems, security features, and sanitation, all of which were officially abated by May 2018. Recent utility improvements include a new boiler and heating system installed in late 2024. The property has experienced recurring issues with street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance as evidenced by multiple 311 calls throughout 2024, though these are primarily municipal maintenance matters rather than building-specific concerns.
