1315-1321 Taylor St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The 8-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 1315-1321 Taylor Street in Nob Hill, owned by Gaehwiler Family LLC, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1910. Most recently, in October 2023, the building received window and door upgrades, replacing 14 wood windows and 1 patio door with fiberglass equivalents at a cost of $24,131. In 2017, the property completed mandatory soft-story upgrades at a cost of $150,000, converting it to a Tier 3 compliant structure with a Certificate of Final Completion issued.

Between 1989 and 1995, the building underwent various structural and maintenance work including dry rot repairs, stucco work, and water member replacement, while in 2011 a reroofing project was completed at a cost of $47,000. The building faced multiple fire safety and building code violations in March 2000, all of which were promptly abated by May 2000, including issues with fire proofing materials, walkway conditions, security bars, smoke enclosure door closers, and combustible storage. A routine inspection in 2004 and a leaking roof complaint in 1995 were also recorded but subsequently resolved.

More recently, there has been a pattern of parking violations at the property, particularly relating to sidewalk parking, with multiple complaints documented between May and November 2023. The property's maintenance history indicates regular upkeep and compliance with safety requirements, with all known violations having been addressed and the completion of significant structural improvements such as the soft-story retrofit and window replacement. The most recent building improvements suggest ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the property to current standards, though the recent clustering of parking violation complaints might indicate some challenges with parking management in the immediate vicinity.
