1425 Taylor St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 1425 Taylor Street building is a 6-story, 42-unit multi-family residential property in Nob Hill, built in 1929 and currently owned by Lees Taylor Street Apts LLC. The building has undergone significant renovations in recent years, with multiple units receiving comprehensive updates including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical system upgrades, and appliance installations. Between 2021 and 2023, units 101, 102, 203, 207, 502, and 605 have all received improvements totaling approximately $150,000 in renovations.

A major fire alarm system upgrade was completed in 2023 to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and an upgraded fire panel. Of particular concern are recent issues with the building's elevator system, which has experienced multiple outages in late 2023, affecting all residents and particularly impacting elderly and disabled tenants. Complaints filed between October and November 2023 documented extended periods without elevator service, and a complaint in November 2023 alleged unauthorized construction work in various units.

The building has a history of fire safety system maintenance requirements, with multiple fire alarm and sprinkler system complaints recorded between 2005 and 2018, though most were marked as "Condition Corrected" or "No Merit." Parking enforcement has been a recurring issue in the vicinity of the building, with numerous complaints about vehicles parking on sidewalks documented in late 2023. Recent complaints from late 2023 to 2024 have also referenced hot water issues, indicating potential building-wide infrastructure concerns. The property has undergone regular maintenance and upgrades over the years, including boiler replacements in 2011 and 2016, and various unit-specific improvements, though the recent pattern of elevator service outages and hot water complaints suggests emerging infrastructure challenges.
