2000 Taraval St, San Francisco, CA 94116

The three-unit residential building at 2000 Taraval Street in Parkside, owned by the Leon Kim Estate, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1945. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past two decades, with the most critical cluster of violations occurring in 2019, when multiple Notices of Violation were issued relating to building safety, fire safety, sanitation, and interior surfaces, including problems with walls, stairs, windows, weather proofing of stucco, rodent infestation, combustible storage, and the need for fire extinguishers. These violations were all abated by September 2021.

The building has received regular maintenance attention, including a $25,000 reroofing project in 2019, electrical system upgrades including rewiring and stair lighting installation in 2015, and plumbing work such as a gas houseline extension in 2018. Historical complaints reveal ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly concerning water damage, stair safety, and plumbing issues. Notable past problems include inadequate heating and hot water (2006), plumbing work left incomplete (2012), and stair safety concerns (2015).

The building's infrastructure has seen several updates, including underground electrical service conversion in 2006 and various exterior repairs. Recent 311 calls from the area primarily concern street-level issues such as graffiti and garbage collection, though these are municipal maintenance matters rather than building-specific concerns. The property has also been the subject of a rejected application for a medical cannabis dispensary in the past, based on zoning restrictions in the Taraval Street Neighborhood Commercial District.
