1015-1019 Ocean Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The three-story, 10-unit multi-family residential building at 1015-1019 Ocean Avenue in the Ingleside neighborhood, built in 1963 and currently owned by Ocean Investment Co, has undergone several significant changes and improvements over the past decade. Most recently, in September 2023, the building received a substantial fire alarm system upgrade to comply with current safety codes, including the installation of new monitoring equipment and horn strobes. Earlier in 2023, the property underwent a commercial tenant improvement to convert a ground-floor space into a cannabis retail store, which included accessibility modifications and new utilities installations.

The building's telecommunications history is notable, with the decommissioning of a wireless facility completed in 2022 that had previously required multiple permits and equipment installations between 2006-2014. The property has faced several safety-related issues and violations, particularly regarding fire safety systems and vacant commercial storefronts. Notable fire safety violations in 2017 included issues with exits, sprinkler systems, signs, and alarm maintenance, though these were subsequently corrected.

The building has experienced ongoing concerns with vacant commercial spaces, resulting in multiple code enforcement actions and complaints between 2020-2023, including a recent complaint in September 2023 regarding covered windows. The fire safety record shows periodic issues with alarm systems, exits, and street numbering, though most have been promptly addressed. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 primarily relate to sidewalk cleaning and maintenance issues, with a fire department request noted in December 2024 that remains open. The building's management has made consistent efforts to maintain and upgrade critical systems, as evidenced by the recent fire alarm upgrade and various other building improvements throughout the years.
