1501 Shafter Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

The two-unit, one-story multi-family residential building at 1501 Shafter Ave in San Francisco's Bayview neighborhood, owned by the Minerva T Simpson 1993 Trust, was constructed in 1915 and has undergone several maintenance and compliance issues over the years. Most notably, in August 2023, the property faced Building Code violations for severely peeling paint that required remediation due to lead hazard concerns, though this issue was promptly addressed and abated by September 19, 2023. The building has a history of building maintenance work, including the installation of Alcoa vinyl siding in 2003 and reroofing in 2002.

A significant complaint regarding unpermitted construction work was filed in June 2010 concerning unauthorized fence removal, plumbing work, and stairway modifications, though this was resolved within weeks. The property experienced multiple fire-related inspections between 2015-2017, with most cases being resolved promptly, including one instance of blocked exits and violations related to an unlicensed auto repair operation that were corrected. In recent months (December 2024 - January 2025), there have been numerous reports of garbage and debris, with several cases involving furniture and loose debris being documented through 311 calls, though all these cases have been resolved.

Additionally, the property owner's past use of an unpermitted recycling business in the parking lot was documented and closed as abated. While the building has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues over its history, most recent violations have been addressed promptly. The most pressing recent concern—regarding lead hazards due to peeling paint—was resolved within a month of being reported, though it did require significant attention and remediation to comply with safety regulations.
