1502-1508 Florida St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1502-1508 Florida Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Ruth Properties LLC, has undergone significant improvements and renovations since 2019, with the most substantial work involving a comprehensive remodel of all four apartments costing over $392,000. This renovation work included the addition of half-baths to each unit, restoration of original floor plans, and kitchen and bathroom updates. The building has received important safety upgrades, including a new fire alarm system installed in late 2020 ($18,500), fire sprinkler system modifications, and electrical system enhancements including rewiring and service upgrades to 400 amps with five meters.

Significant infrastructure improvements were completed in 2020, including furnace replacements for all units and major plumbing work involving sewer line and fresh water line connections. Historical records show that in 2001, the building faced several fire safety and maintenance violations, including egress obstructions, damaged paint posing lead hazard concerns, and security issues, all of which were abated by June 2001. The building also has a documented history of fire system violations from 2005, including issues with fire alarms and means of egress obstruction, though these violations were closed.

More recent fire safety incidents have been minor, including a smoke detector malfunction and a smoke odor incident, with no civilian injuries reported. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes since the major renovations, with no current active violations noted. Recent 311 calls (as of late 2024) primarily relate to street-related issues such as garbage debris and parking violations, which are external to the building's management and maintenance.
