1148-1160 Taylor St, San Francisco, CA 94108

Located in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood, this 3-story multi-family residential building at 1148-1160 Taylor Street contains 13 units and was built in 1913. The property underwent significant structural improvements in 2016, completing mandatory soft-story retrofit work to comply with San Francisco Building Code Chapter 34B, demonstrating the owner's commitment to structural safety. Recent maintenance includes the replacement of the steam boiler in 2022 and various fire safety system inspections and corrections between 2015-2021, which were primarily related to alarm systems and fire extinguishers.

The building has experienced several code compliance issues over the years, including unauthorized ATM installation in 2012, exterior paint problems in 2015, and boiler permit renewal matters in 2022. While the majority of these violations were resolved through proper abatement procedures, the building has had three notable fire-related incidents (false alarms and detector malfunctions) and a complaint regarding exterior weather-proofing and lead paint concerns. Recent developments include a withdrawn permit application in 2024 for restaurant expansion work, though this appears to be related to an adjacent retail space.

The property completed necessary ADA upgrades to retail spaces during the 2016 retrofit work and has maintained its status as a "Legacy Business" through proper registration procedures. The building's maintenance history shows attention to critical systems such as plumbing and electrical improvements, including Ufer ground installation in 2017. Recent 311 calls for the property have primarily concerned street maintenance issues rather than building-specific problems, and there have been no major building violations reported since 2022, suggesting improved compliance with city regulations in recent years.
