1516 25th St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1516 25th Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Ryan Goodwin, was constructed in 1900 and contains two legally defined dwelling units. The property is currently facing significant housing code violations identified in April 2016, including the presence of an unauthorized third unit in the basement with its own kitchen and bath, along with several life safety concerns such as unapproved wiring and plumbing, inadequate fire-resistant materials, lack of smoke detectors, and missing emergency egress.

These violations remain active as of the last update. The building's infrastructure has seen some improvements over the years, including a completed electrical upgrade to 200-amp service in 2013 and attempts to address safety concerns through various permits, such as the installation of exterior wood stairs for second means of egress in 2010 (status filed) and a water line replacement in 2012 (expired). Recent permits and planning activity suggest ongoing efforts to resolve the building's status, including a parking variance application to legalize the third unit, though the current illegal status remains a compliance issue.

The property has experienced multiple fire safety incidents, primarily involving false alarms, service calls, and outside waste fires, though fortunately none resulted in civilian injuries. Recent activity around the building has generated multiple 311 calls in January 2025, primarily related to street maintenance issues such as garbage, debris, and encampments, though these are external to the building itself. The building's fire safety system has had periodic maintenance needs, as evidenced by fire violations identified in 2023-2024 at nearby properties, though specific fire safety violation records for this address are not currently listed.
