2227 Taylor St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building at 2227 Taylor Street in Russian Hill, owned by 2227 Taylor Owner LLC, has undergone significant improvements and faced several challenges since its construction in 1907. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in August 2024, after previously receiving multiple violation notices from 2018 through 2022, indicating this important seismic safety upgrade had been delayed.

The property has seen substantial interior unit improvements in recent years, particularly in 2020-2021, with multiple units (including #3, #9, #10, and #11) receiving kitchen and bathroom rehabilitations, along with washer/dryer installations, at costs ranging from $28,000 to $45,000 per unit. A significant renovation project was also undertaken in 2017-2018 to add four new units (ADUs) within the existing building envelope, costing $544,000. The building's maintenance history shows active management response to various issues, including electrical upgrades with the installation of a new 400-amp service in 2019 and previous violations related to flooring, heating systems, shower fixtures, and exterior water leaks in early 2016, all of which were abated within approximately one month.

While there was one complaint in 2019 regarding alleged unauthorized modifications by a previous landlord in 2012, this issue was eventually closed. Recent activity around the building in 2024 has primarily concerned external matters such as street cleaning and parking issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding garbage, debris, and parking enforcement. The property has maintained regular inspections and has generally addressed violations in a timely manner, with no active violations or complaints currently on record, and has achieved compliance with major city programs such as the soft-story retrofit requirement.
