San Francisco, CA 94103
1486-1490 15th Street is a six-unit apartment building prominently situated on a corner lot in San Francisco. The building is comprised entirely of spacious two-bedroom units. One of the six units has been recently remodeled and will be delivered vacant, providing flexibility for an owner-user or investor. The property has benefited from several significant capital improvements, including a new roof completed in 2024 and a soft-story seismic retrofit completed in 2020. A large basement provides additional space with potential for the addition of ADUs, offering an opportunity to increase the building's unit count and future income. The remaining five units provide in-place rental income with additional long-term upside. Located at the intersection of 15th Street and South Van Ness Avenue, the property is ideally positioned near the Mission District with convenient access to some of San Francisco's most popular dining, shopping, and entertainment destinations. Valencia Street, Mission Street, and the 16th Street corridor are all nearby, along with numerous neighborhood restaurants, cafs, and everyday amenities. The property also offers excellent access to BART, Muni, and major freeway connections, providing convenient transportation throughout San Francisco and the greater Bay Area.
Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1910, the property is well-maintained with major recent capital improvements including a new roof (2024) and a seismic retrofit (2020). One unit is recently remodeled to excellent condition (<5 years), and the remaining units are functional, income-generating spaces, placing the overall building in the 'Good' category.
The large basement offers significant potential for ADU conversion to increase unit count, while the vacant, remodeled unit provides immediate flexibility for an owner-user or market-rate rental.
The property features a new roof completed in 2024 and a soft-story seismic retrofit finished in 2020, significantly reducing near-term capital expenditure requirements for a new owner.
Situated on a prominent corner lot near the Mission District, the property offers exceptional access to BART, Muni, and major freeways, ensuring high tenant demand and long-term desirability.
With five of the six units currently occupied, the property is subject to San Francisco's stringent rent control laws, which may limit immediate cash flow and rental upside.
Originally constructed in 1910, the building may require ongoing maintenance of aging systems and infrastructure typical of century-old properties despite recent structural upgrades.
