Augrented Insights Report

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1255-1257 Taylor Street in Nob Hill, owned by Harry Y & Beatrice Hom Revo, was constructed in 1915 and contains 13 units. The property has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, most notably the completion of a fire alarm system upgrade in October 2023 and a comprehensive soft-story retrofit completed in 2021 that included both the residential and commercial portions of the building, achieving Tier 4 compliance.

Historical maintenance challenges have included an extended elevator outage in early 2021, common area concerns reported in 2024, and multiple fire safety issues between 2005 and 2018, though all were eventually resolved. Recent activities at the property include the installation of two painted wall signs in 2022, and various plumbing improvements including water line replacement in 2020 and attempted laundry facility installation in 2019.

The building experienced some regulatory scrutiny regarding unauthorized short-term rentals, which was formally addressed and abated in 2023. A recent complaint from October 2024 regarding an illegally constructed restaurant patio deck with propane heaters was filed but has since been marked as Not Active. While there have been recurring concerns about heating systems, particularly during 2009 and 2024, and occasional parking issues as evidenced by numerous recent 311 calls, the building has maintained compliance with major safety requirements through regular system upgrades and prompt attention to violations when they occur.
