1146 Taylor St, San Francisco, CA 94108

1146 Taylor Street is a 14-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1913 in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood, currently owned by 1146 Taylor Owner LLC. The property has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple maintenance challenges over recent years. Most notably, the building successfully added an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) at the basement level in 2019, increasing its total unit count to 15, followed by various unit rehabilitations including Units 2 and 4, which received substantial upgrades to kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry facilities between 2019-2021. The building has experienced recurring issues with its exterior facade, particularly regarding stucco deterioration and waterproofing concerns.

Active complaints from 2023 and 2024 cite problems with missing stucco, peeling paint, and potential safety hazards from facade deterioration. Recent construction activities include window replacements (18 windows in 2024) and facade repairs funded by permits issued in 2024 to address these ongoing issues. The property has also faced several safety-related challenges, including past complaints about heat outages in 2021, various fire system violations in 2023-2024, and a notable incident in 2019 regarding uncontained dust during construction work. While the building has completed its soft-story retrofit requirements, indicating compliance with seismic safety standards, current active violations related to exterior maintenance and weatherproofing suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.

Recent building permits indicate active efforts to address these exterior issues, with approximately $45,000 in approved work in 2024 specifically targeting facade repairs and window replacements. The property has also undergone significant infrastructure improvements, including the installation of a new fire sprinkler system in 2021 and various plumbing and electrical upgrades. Multiple 311 calls and permit records from 2023-2024 show continued attention to maintenance matters, though some issues, particularly regarding exterior maintenance, remain active as of late 2024. The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to many housing code requirements, though there have been periodic lapses in timely maintenance and communication with residents as evidenced by various tenant complaints.
