1515 Ocean Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

1515 Ocean Avenue is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1978, containing 5 residential units plus commercial space, currently owned by Virginia Chung. The building has undergone several significant modifications and repairs over its lifetime, including a 2019 accessibility upgrade with power door operators costing $2,000, and a substantial 2004 repair to fire-damaged siding and drywall which cost $15,000. The property faced multiple serious issues in September 2000, including several fire safety and maintenance violations that required immediate attention, such as egress obstructions at fire escapes, heating system deficiencies, and various fire extinguisher and smoke detection problems - all of which were resolved by October 2000.

More recent history shows ongoing maintenance and safety compliance efforts, including a 2020 fire safety violation related to sprinkler obstructions that was abated. The building has undergone routine housing inspections in 2001, 2003, 2008, and 2010, with the 2001 inspection noting multiple maintenance issues including plumbing problems and appliance malfunctions. The property has been subject to various external environmental and safety challenges, as evidenced by recent 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding curb defects, garbage issues, and street cleaning needs.

A 1999 complaint highlighted security concerns regarding an open garage area, though this appears to have been addressed in subsequent years. While the building has had its share of maintenance challenges, records indicate that violations have generally been addressed once cited, with no active violations currently on record as of October 2023. Recent infrastructure improvements include tree maintenance and lighting repairs completed in 2024, suggesting ongoing attention to building systems and surrounding areas by management.
