1355 Taylor St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The four-story, eight-unit multi-family residential building at 1355 Taylor Street in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood, constructed in 1914 and currently owned by Yee Ping Jing Lvg Tr, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues over the past two decades. Most recently, in April 2024, a tenant filed a complaint regarding safety concerns including wall cracks and garage conditions in light of earthquakes, though this complaint was subsequently closed by June 2024.

The building has undergone routine safety inspections in 2016 and 2009, with more significant violations recorded in 2000-2002, including multiple issues related to building safety such as a lack of utility shut-off tool, loose post under rear stairs, rusty fire escape ladder cable, inadequate heating systems, stair repairs, sink repairs, fire safety concerns including egress obstruction and smoke enclosure door issues, and exterior maintenance requirements including window frame painting and lead paint safety notices. The most recent fire safety violation from June 2020 regarding the alarm system was abated within three days, though records indicate it was initially related to a malfunctioning system.

The building's maintenance history shows some improvements have been made over time, though there is currently an open case regarding a collapsed sidewalk (as of December 2024). Recent months have seen multiple reports of sidewalk parking violations and garbage issues near the property, with most cases being resolved by city enforcement. While many historical violations have been addressed, the building's age and history of maintenance issues suggest continued vigilance is required for resident safety and comfort.
