1219 Taylor St, San Francisco, CA 94108

1219 Taylor Street is a three-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building located in Nob Hill and owned by Sandra Carol Ow Revoc Tr. The 1923 structure has undergone several significant retrofitting and maintenance projects in recent years, most notably completing its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018 with an investment of $85,000 to meet seismic safety requirements. The building's fire safety systems have received recent attention, with a fire alarm system upgrade completed in 2023 to comply with current fire code requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas.

In 2020, the building underwent important plumbing work, including the replacement of corroded terra-cotta flues with properly vented systems. The property has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues over its history, though most have been addressed promptly. Notable past concerns include inadequate heating in 2008, unauthorized window installations in 2006, and several instances of unpermitted work between 2000 and 2011.

While the building has maintained an active 311 call record for parking enforcement matters in recent months (with multiple complaints between November 2024 and January 2025), these are external issues not directly related to building conditions. A routine fire system inspection in May 2024 resulted in a violation that has since been abated, and the building's maintenance record shows regular attention to required updates and repairs, including window replacements in 2006, roof work in 1995, and various plumbing and electrical improvements. The building's owner appears to be actively addressing current code requirements, as evidenced by recent permits for fire alarm system updates and the completion of mandatory soft-story retrofitting work.
