1345 Taylor St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The Young Family Trust's 33-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1345 Taylor Street in Nob Hill, built in 1925, has undergone significant improvements and faced several maintenance challenges over recent years. Most notably, the building completed its soft-story retrofit in 2018, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements, and has recently upgraded its fire alarm system in November 2023 to meet current safety standards with new low-frequency sounders and updated devices.

The property has experienced recurring issues with water intrusion, with active complaints from 2021 and 2022 regarding leaks affecting neighboring properties, and has faced multiple housing code violations between 2017-2018 including problems with mold, heating systems, and deteriorated building elements. A cluster of complaints in 2018 highlighted concerns about mold, structural issues, and heating problems, though most were resolved through appropriate permits and repairs, including the replacement of heaters in several units.

The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to system upgrades and repairs, including a new boiler installation in 2020 and various unit-specific improvements. Recent fire safety inspections show an active violation regarding sleeping area requirements as of December 2023, though other fire safety issues from previous years have been corrected. While the building has faced various challenges typical of its age and type, the records indicate ongoing efforts by management to address maintenance issues and comply with safety regulations, though some concerns about water intrusion and the most recent fire safety violation appear to remain unresolved.
