1947-1951 Taylor St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-unit residential building at 1947-1951 Taylor Street in Russian Hill, built in 1910, has undergone several significant safety improvements in recent months. Most notably, in November 2023, the property received structural enhancements with the installation of Simpson UFP plates and expansion anchors, totaling approximately 40 linear feet, at a cost of $7,000. Additionally, in August 2023, the building underwent electrical upgrades to address knob and tube wiring issues, with three separate permits issued for the work.

The building's safety features were notably addressed during a routine inspection in October 2005, which identified several fire safety violations including the need for smoke detectors at stairwell exits, fire extinguishers, and removal of combustible materials from the garage area. These violations were all resolved by December 2005. Recent administrative matters include a 2024 adjustment to the building's rent fee based on updated housing inventory information, which corrected the unit count from 2 to 3 and increased the fee from $118 to $177.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic upkeep, including a $7,880 reroofing project completed in 2007. The property has experienced recurring issues with abandoned vehicles on the adjacent street, with multiple reports filed between 2020 and 2024, though these are external to the building's operations. The most recent complaints (2023-2024) have primarily involved street-related issues rather than building-specific concerns, suggesting improved building maintenance and responsiveness to safety requirements in recent years.
