2035 15th St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 2035 15th Street, owned by Bertrand & Dorothy Baylin F, was constructed in 1927 and has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements over the years. Most notably, the building is currently undergoing a comprehensive fire safety system upgrade, as evidenced by the December 2024 permits for a complete fire system replacement including new control panels, smoke detectors, horn/strobe devices, and low-frequency sounders throughout the building. The property has completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit of the garage floor in 2016, enhancing the building's seismic resilience, and has previously addressed various safety concerns through timely maintenance, including a gas line replacement for unit #6 in 2007 and electrical service upgrades in 2004.

The building has experienced several compliance and safety issues over its history, though all have been resolved. Multiple violations were documented in late 2000 through early 2001 related to fire safety and building maintenance, including issues with fire extinguishers, window repairs, and gas utility requirements, all of which were abated by March 2001. A routine inspection in 2022 identified several common area issues, including concerns with the fire escape ladder and the need for compliance affidavits, which were resolved shortly thereafter.

The property has maintained active responses to fire safety requirements, including a 2009 fire alarm systems correction, and is classified as Tier 3 in the city's soft-story program, indicating that work has been completed and a Certificate of Final Completion was issued. Recent history indicates ongoing attention to building maintenance and safety systems, particularly with the recent fire system upgrade project. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban issues as evidenced by recent 311 calls, primarily related to street maintenance and public space concerns, though these are external to the building itself. The property's maintenance record shows a pattern of addressing safety and building code requirements promptly, with no active violations or complaints as of the current date.
