220-230 Taraval St, San Francisco, CA 94116

The 220-230 Taraval Street property is a 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building with commercial space, constructed in 1948 and currently owned by the Ho Family Trust. The building has undergone numerous significant improvements over the past decade, with particular attention to maintaining and upgrading its infrastructure. In 2018, both front stairs were rebuilt and a new exterior stair canopy was installed above the third floor. Between 2016-2017, substantial unit renovations were completed in units 3 and 4, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical rewiring, and plumbing updates, with costs totaling over $75,000.

The building has experienced recurring water-related issues, with multiple instances of stucco repair work performed between 2012-2013, and two documented sewage backup incidents in 2014. Recent maintenance work includes electricity upgrade projects, such as replacing fuse boxes for all units in 2005 and various electrical improvements in 2016-2017. Historically, the building had some regulatory and safety compliance issues that have since been resolved. In 2002, multiple violations were recorded regarding fire safety equipment and building maintenance, all of which were abated by October 2002.

There were also unauthorized modifications to the ground floor space in 2000, including office tenant improvements and conversion of parking stalls to storage, which were subsequently addressed. More recently, in 2018, there was a complaint about exterior lighting affecting neighboring windows, and in 2013, there was a report of unpermitted dry rot wood replacement. The property has maintained regular housing inspections, with the most recent routine inspection occurring in 2011. While there have been some maintenance issues requiring attention, the recent pattern of building permits and improvements suggests active management and maintenance of the property. The building's permit history demonstrates ongoing investment in structural integrity and unit improvements, with all major recent work properly permitted and completed.
