1464 Taylor St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 10-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1464 Taylor Street in Nob Hill, owned by Ivories Management LLC and built in 1923, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges throughout its history. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story seismic upgrades in 2018 at a cost of approximately $215,000, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. Recent fire safety inspections in 2024 resulted in violations being issued for fire extinguisher service requirements and alarm system maintenance, though these are documented as abated.

The building has experienced recurring water-related issues, with the most recent complaints in 2022 reporting significant water intrusion affecting multiple layers of flooring and concerns about asbestos. Historical complaints from 2003-2006 highlighted various building maintenance issues, including water damage, ventilation problems, and concerns about fire safety systems, while 2011-2012 complaints addressed unauthorized unit conversions and heating system issues. The property has seen regular maintenance and improvements over the years, including kitchen cabinet upgrades in multiple units (2002), roofing work in 1989 and 2000, and window replacements (1985).

While most historical violations have been resolved, the building's recent fire safety issues and ongoing maintenance history suggest continued attention to building systems is necessary. The property has also experienced periodic issues with exterior maintenance, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding graffiti and street cleaning needs between 2022-2024. Recent inspections in 2024 noted concerns regarding sprinkler systems and fire extinguishers, though these were marked as having "No Merit" in one instance. The building appears to have completed its required soft-story retrofit work and received a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC), indicating compliance with that specific safety requirement.
