1610 Taylor St, San Francisco, CA 94133

1610 Taylor Street is a 3-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, containing 5 units and owned by 1610 Taylor Street LLC. Built in 1963, this apartment building has undergone several significant renovations over the past two decades. Most recently, in 2014, handrails were replaced on the front stairs to address a complaint, costing $3,500. Between 2007-2010, multiple unit renovations were completed, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in units #1, #2, #3, and #4, along with window replacements and various plumbing and electrical upgrades.

A substantial renovation occurred in 2009 involving a 5th-floor remodel with new kitchen, bathrooms, panelboards, circuits, and appliances, along with the installation of a tankless water heater and furnace. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues throughout its history. In 2008, a routine inspection revealed multiple fire safety concerns including fire extinguisher maintenance, gas meter instructions, and fire escape ladder obstructions, though these violations were abated by May 2008. Earlier, in 2000, similar fire safety issues were addressed including smoke enclosure door repairs.

The property has also faced periodic exterior maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding sidewalk defects (most recently in 2023), and instances of graffiti in 2016. A 2020 plumbing-related permit indicates previous water service issues. While the building has had some concerns regarding fire safety systems (with multiple detector activations recorded as false alarms), there are no documented fire incidents resulting in injuries. A recent planning record indicates consideration for a penthouse addition and review of an existing nonconforming enclosed patio.
