2127-2131 Taylor St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 3-story multi-family residential building at 2127-2131 Taylor Street in Russian Hill, owned by Gordon Robert C III & Clare L, contains 14 units and was constructed in 1922. The property has undergone significant recent improvements, most notably the legalization of an additional fourth dwelling unit in 2018 and the addition of four new units in the rear building completed in 2016. Major safety system upgrades were implemented between 2017-2019, including the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system, new fire alarm panel, and replacement of the fire alarm system with cellular communication capabilities.

The building has also achieved compliance with soft-story retrofit requirements and received a Certificate of Final Completion. While the property has generally improved in safety systems and unit count, there have been several notable incidents. In November 2015, there was a significant structural event reported, where a wall collapse allegedly trapped a resident behind the front door, though this complaint is marked as not active. Fire safety inspections in 2018-2019 revealed violations related to sprinkler and alarm systems, which were subsequently abated.

The building experienced egress obstruction issues in 2005, when fire escape platforms and exit hallways were found blocked, though these violations were resolved within two months. Recent 311 calls from 2022-2023 indicate occasional issues with parking violations near the property. A fire safety complaint regarding extinguishers was filed in July 2023, but was resolved by August 2023. The property has undergone substantial improvements to its systems and structure, with particular attention to fire safety systems and seismic retrofitting, achieving a completed status with Certificate of Final Completion.
