1216 Taylor St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The 10-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1216 Taylor Street in Nob Hill, owned by the Debra Kwok Revocable Trust and constructed in 1924, has recently undergone window replacements on its rear elevation, with permits filed in December 2023 for $30,000 worth of vinyl frame installations. The building has experienced recurring issues with its alarm systems, marked by eight documented fire complaints between 2009 and 2024, though all were promptly corrected. A significant water damage incident occurred in 2011 affecting unit #23, requiring extensive repairs including floor, cabinet, and plaster replacements.

The property has also faced multiple common area challenges, with active complaints from April 2024 currently under investigation by Housing Inspection Services. Historical records show a cluster of violations in 2006 related to building safety and maintenance, including issues with fire escape ladders, lead paint hazards, and window seal problems, all of which were abated by January 2007. The building underwent a boiler replacement in 2011, and from 2018-2018, various maintenance work was performed including flue stack replacement in the lightwell.

Parking enforcement has been active around the property, with numerous citations issued for sidewalk parking violations throughout 2023-2024. The building's systems have generally been responsive to maintenance needs, with fire safety issues resolving through appropriate channels, though the frequency of alarm system notifications suggests ongoing monitoring requirements. Recent window upgrades in 2023 and the building's history of addressing violations indicate regular maintenance attention to building systems and infrastructure.
