920 Taylor St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The 11-unit apartment building at 920 Taylor Street, owned by the Rebecca A Fong Revocable Trust, is a three-story multi-family residential structure built in 1910. The property has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (at a cost of $150,000) to improve seismic resilience.

In early 2023, the building's fire safety systems were substantially updated, including the installation of a new fire alarm panel, wireless communication, low-frequency horn strobes, smoke detectors, and manual alarms, though there have been recurring fire safety compliance issues, most recently with a sprinkler system violation issued in October 2023 that was later abated. The building's maintenance history includes various improvements such as a bathroom remodel in unit #2 (completed in 2018), sidewalk repairs, and multiple street space permits. Several violations were recorded in 2002 concerning safety features like handrails, fire escape maintenance, a sprinkler head over recycling bins, and rear stair repairs, though these were ultimately abated.

More recent boiler permit issues arose in 2022, but these were resolved within months. The property has had routine safety inspections and regular maintenance, with most recent 311 calls in 2023 primarily relating to external issues like sidewalk defect repairs, graffiti, and general cleaning matters. The building's infrastructure improvements, including electrical work for lights and exit signs, suggest ongoing maintenance attention to both safety systems and resident amenities.
