1254 Taylor St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The 1254 Taylor Street property is a 14-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building located in Nob Hill, built in 1911 and currently owned by Ng Siu Chuen & Shiu Quan Hu. The building has undergone several significant renovations over the years, including a reroofing project in 2006 costing $18,000, and multiple kitchen and bathroom renovations in 1998-1999 involving cabinet and fixture replacements in several units.

A notable recent concern is a loud electrical noise reported from the ground floor in December 2024, which has been persistent since November 2024 and occurs at all hours, according to resident complaints. The property has experienced various maintenance and safety issues throughout its history, with a cluster of violations in 2000 involving inadequate lighting, security issues (including exterior door locks), window repairs, fire extinguisher maintenance, and stair repairs - all of which were abated in April 2000.

More recent fire safety concerns were documented in 2019 regarding extinguishers and alarm systems, though these were corrected promptly. The building underwent routine safety inspections in 2009, 2010, and 2016, with no major issues reported. In early 2025, there has been a pattern of reports regarding abandoned furniture and debris near the property, with multiple calls to Recology between December 2024 and January 2025, suggesting some ongoing maintenance or waste management challenges in the vicinity.
