Augrented Insights Report

The 1556 Taylor Street building is a 10-unit, three-story multi-family residential structure built in 1922 in Nob Hill. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including two major unit renovations in 2018 and 2022 (Units #5 and #8), a completed soft-story retrofit in 2016 costing $45,000, and most recently, a reroofing project completed in August 2024 with a cost of $17,800.

The building has experienced some maintenance issues over the years, including a notable problem with the mailbox system in 2022 that reportedly disrupted mail delivery for an extended period. While some historical violations from 2000 and 2008 related to fire safety, lead paint, and building systems were documented, these were all officially abated.

The building has recent 311 calls indicating parking enforcement needs and sidewalk issues, with an open excessive noise complaint from September 2024. Fire safety records show two complaints - one regarding alarm systems in 2016 (no merit found) and another about combustible materials in 2013 (condition corrected). The property management has generally addressed maintenance issues through proper permits, as evidenced by associated plumbing and electrical permits for the unit renovations, though several sidewalk and parking concerns in recent years suggest ongoing challenges with external maintenance and enforcement.
