1250 Taylor St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The 15-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 1250 Taylor Street in Nob Hill, owned by Romel 2400vn LLC, has undergone significant renovations and faced several maintenance challenges since its construction in 1912. Most notably, the property completed the conversion of parking spaces to two ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) in 2019-2020, along with multiple unit renovations including a $62,000 remodel in Apartment 16 in 2023. The building's infrastructure has received substantial upgrades, including new FA systems, sprinklers, and plumbing improvements, though there have been recurring issues with the hot water system, particularly in late 2021-2022 when multiple complaints were filed about inconsistent hot water supply affecting all units.

The building's maintenance history shows patterns of construction-related disruptions, with tenants reporting water shut-offs, electrical issues, and noise concerns during periods of work, particularly noticeable during 2021 when multiple complaints about construction impacts were filed. While the property has had historical violations regarding lead paint hazards and various maintenance issues in 2009, these were addressed by November 2009. Recent building improvements include the completion of ADUs with associated plumbing and electrical work, and various unit renovations throughout the building.

The property successfully completed its soft-story retrofit program requirements. Maintenance issues have occasionally disrupted tenant comfort, particularly during construction periods, and there have been periodic concerns about improper construction practices, as noted in a 2022 complaint about unsafe lead practices during renovation work. While the building has had several fire-related inspections (combustible materials, alarm systems, sprinkler systems, etc.) between 2006 and 2022, most were found to have no merit or were promptly corrected. The most recent tenant buyout recorded was in May 2017, involving two tenants for $2,500.
