Augrented Insights Report

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1237-1241 Taylor Street in Nob Hill, owned by Weihong Liu, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges since its construction in 1908. Most recently, the property has active concerns regarding a failing retaining wall as of September 2024, with associated monthly monitoring fees. The building has seen substantial renovation work in recent years, including voluntary seismic strengthening in 2022 ($60,000), multiple kitchen and bathroom remodels, window replacements, electrical rewiring, and plumbing system upgrades.

Notable issues arose during 2021 renovations, including complaints about unauthorized work, safety concerns, and multiple fire safety violations related to blocked exits and pathway storage. The property has undergone routine safety inspections in 2010, 2016, and has had some historical violations regarding safety equipment and utility access, though these were eventually addressed. Recent permits show ongoing improvements, including plumbing and electrical work, though some permits from 2023 have expired without completion.

The building's maintenance history includes significant work such as a complete reroofing in 2018 ($25,000) and various unit-specific upgrades. Recent plumbing work completed in 2024 included a comprehensive system update with multiple fixture installations. The property has faced regulatory scrutiny regarding potential illegal unit status and unpermitted work in 2021, though these complaints were marked as "Not Active." The building is classified as a historic "B" structure, and additional records indicate past concerns about short-term rental use and non-permitted residency, though these issues have been marked as abated. The property's inspection history shows a mix of routine maintenance and more urgent repairs, with particular attention needed to the recently identified retaining wall issues.
