1920-1922 Taraval St, San Francisco, CA 94116

The Chu Family Trust owns this 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building with retail space, constructed in 1925 at 1920-1922 Taraval St in San Francisco's Parkside neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant improvements and faced some notable challenges over its history. Most recently, in late 2022, unit #1 underwent substantial renovations including a kitchen and bathroom remodel, which initially led to a complaint about unpermitted work and noise that was resolved by October 2022.

The building experienced serious moisture issues in 2014, with multiple complaints documenting widespread mold affecting clothing, furniture, bathroom areas, and more, though there is no record of these complaints being formally abated. Significant structural work was performed in the mid-1980s, including extensions to the front of the second floor and rear of both floors, and a reroofing project was completed in 2002. A 200-amp underground electrical conversion permit was issued in 2005, though records show it expired without completion.

Recent maintenance and safety concerns have primarily involved the property’s surroundings, with multiple 311 calls between 2015-2024 reporting issues with sidewalks, curbs, and street cleaning, including defects in the sidewalk and curb that were documented in 2016-2017. There have been several reports of abandoned debris and waste on the street between 2015-2024, including a notable incident in July 2024 involving furniture and appliances that were ultimately found to be nonexistent upon inspection. While the building has had its share of maintenance and environmental challenges over the past decades, recent permit activity suggests ongoing investment in building improvements, though some historical permits like the 2005 electrical work appear to have been left incomplete.
