1724-1726 Taraval St, San Francisco, CA 94116

The Chow Family Trust owns the 2-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building located at 1724-1726 Taraval Street in the Parkside neighborhood, constructed in 1955. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most notable recent work being a comprehensive soft-story retrofit completed in 2017, which included both residential and retail components, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements (Tier 4 status, Work Complete, CFC Issued). Recent building improvements include a 2020 powder room remodel to meet current building code requirements, window replacements in 1997, and an underground electrical service conversion completed in 2006.

The building had a series of fire safety and plumbing violations identified in 2011 during a routine inspection, including issues with fire extinguisher maintenance and hot water heater seismic bracing, though these were all promptly addressed and abated by September 2011. More recent maintenance records show a 2020 permit for street space usage and an expired permit for moving gas lines. The property has had regular oversight from housing inspection services, with routine inspections conducted in 2001 and 2011.

External to the building itself, there have been several 311 calls regarding the surrounding area between 2020 and 2024, primarily related to graffiti on transit shelters, sidewalk cleaning, and street signage maintenance. The most recent 311 calls in 2023-2024 have been for general street maintenance and signage issues, none of which directly impact the building's habitability or safety conditions. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to regulatory compliance, particularly regarding seismic safety and building code updates, though prospective tenants should note the property's age and the periodic need for infrastructure maintenance evident in the historical permit records.
