1360-1390 Taylor St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The 23-unit multi-family residential building at 1360-1390 Taylor Street in Nob Hill, owned by Lsl Properties B14 De Llc, has undergone significant renovations and faced several maintenance challenges since its construction in 1923. Most notably, recent fire safety concerns have emerged, with violations issued in late 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements and fire escape maintenance, though permits for some fire escape repairs were filed and completed in early 2024. The building has seen substantial unit improvements over recent years, including multiple apartment renovations between 2017-2021 involving kitchen and bathroom rehabilitations, bedroom conversions, and electrical system upgrades. Major infrastructure work has been performed, including a 400-amp service installation in 2018 and recent sewer and house trap replacements in late 2024.

The property has experienced various maintenance issues and resident concerns over the years. Multiple fire code violations were recorded in 2017-2023, with some remaining open as of late 2023. Historical complaints from 2013 detailed several interior maintenance issues, including water damage, rodent infestation, and structural concerns, though these were abated by May 2013. Recent plumbing complaints from December 2024 regarding traps and sanitary systems were addressed within ten days.

The building has successfully completed its soft-story retrofit requirements and received its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) status. Ongoing maintenance matters include an active complaint from April 2024 regarding common areas. The property also had past issues with unauthorized short-term rentals, which were reported and addressed in 2014. While the building has undergone significant improvements and met many regulatory requirements, recent fire safety violations and some ongoing maintenance concerns suggest continued attention to building systems and safety requirements is necessary.
