1507-1509 Ocean Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The property at 1507-1509 Ocean Avenue is a two-unit, two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1922, currently owned by Lin Johnson. The building has experienced several significant incidents, most notably a fire in 2004 that caused damage to both floors, requiring substantial repairs estimated at $50,000, along with electrical work that replaced numerous lights, switches, and receptacles. Recent improvements include accessibility upgrades being implemented as of November 2023, with the installation of automatic door operators and street improvements.

The building has undergone various tenant-driven modifications, including a change from retail to office use in 2013, and the addition of an awning during the same year. The property has had its share of maintenance and compliance issues, with the most recent being an unresolved complaint from July 2022 regarding unauthorized awning modifications. Historical concerns include a 2000 complaint about non-functioning heater and water issues, and a 2004 complaint about unsafe building conditions following the fire.

The building underwent electrical infrastructure improvements in 2002, transitioning from overhead to underground power lines. Recent maintenance history (2024) shows multiple public works-related issues being reported and resolved, including sidewalk defects, graffiti, and garbage overflow concerns, though these are more related to surrounding infrastructure than the building itself. The property has maintained an active compliance record, with recent permits focusing on accessibility improvements and maintaining current codes.
