2015-2019 17th St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The three-unit residential building at 2015-2019 17th Street in Potrero Hill, owned by John Robert Martin Living Trust, has undergone significant recent improvements totaling approximately $1.4 million in construction work. In 2022-2023, major renovations included the installation of a new roof deck with a hot tub, structural upgrades, and modifications to improve access including a new trash room. Prior improvements from 2022 focused on non-structural kitchen and bathroom remodels, while earlier work in 2006-2009 included various electrical, plumbing, and renovation projects across the units, including window replacements, kitchen remodeling, and electrical rewiring.

The property experienced some challenges in 2008 with building code violations related to unpermitted construction work on the ground floor, though these were resolved by September 2010. The building has a history of fire safety incidents, with multiple false alarms and one unintentional building fire recorded, though fortunately none resulted in civilian injuries. Fire code violations were issued in 2018 and 2020 related to sprinkler systems and alarm maintenance, both of which were corrected.

The property has undergone regular maintenance and upgrading of systems, including electrical infrastructure improvements with new sub-panels and complete rewiring work. Recent municipal service calls in late 2024 primarily relate to street cleaning and maintenance issues outside the building's immediate control, such as garbage debris and parking concerns, which are typical urban neighborhood issues. Three significant permits were completed in 2022-2023, focusing on exterior and structural improvements, indicating ongoing investment in property maintenance and upgrades.
