15-19 Blanken Ave, San Francisco, CA 94134

The property at 15-19 Blanken Ave in Little Hollywood is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1932, currently owned by Jeanette Santos Exempt Tr. The building experienced significant fire damage in 2008, leading to extensive repairs and upgrades across both residential units and the commercial space, including seismic improvements, kitchen enlargements, electrical system rewiring, and various infrastructure upgrades totaling over $500,000. The electrical system received a comprehensive overhaul with the installation of a new 200-amp service, multiple subpanels, and extensive circuitry improvements.

Subsequent to the fire incident, the building underwent various safety renovations, including the installation of new smoke detectors and fire safety systems. More recent history shows the building has been regularly maintained, with the most recent major permits including the installation of three furnaces and ductwork in 2009, and some roofing work completed in 2004. The property has experienced several garbage and debris-related complaints in late 2024, primarily regarding street cleaning issues, though these appear to have been resolved promptly by city services.

A fire safety violation regarding egress obstruction was recorded in January 2011 but was abated within a week. The building's most recent fire safety complaint from December 2018 regarding alarm systems was resolved by January 2019. While there have been multiple recent 311 calls regarding street cleaning and graffiti in the vicinity of the building between October 2024 and January 2025, these are primarily external issues affecting the neighborhood rather than building-specific concerns.
