2028-2030 Taraval St, San Francisco, CA 94116

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2028-2030 Taraval Street in Parkside, owned by Emil Knopf, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges since its construction in 1955. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story retrofit work in 2017-2019, which included the installation of moment frames and window replacements for additional shear wall length. The most recent building safety improvement was a fire alarm system pillow test completed in September 2023.

The building experienced several interior issues in 2010, including water damage, lead paint concerns, and window frame repairs, all of which were officially abated by October 2010. There have been periodic maintenance and exterior improvements, such as stucco replacement in 2010 and ground floor commercial door modifications. Recent activity includes a 2023 complaint regarding the commercial/business portion of the building, though this was recorded as not active, and there have been multiple 311 calls in recent years, primarily related to graffiti and general maintenance issues.

The building underwent an electrical service upgrade with a 175-amp underground conversion in 2005, though this permit is now expired. Records indicate regular compliance with housing inspections, including a routine inspection in 2011, and the building's soft-story retrofit was classified under Tier 3 with work completed and Certificate of Final Completion issued. The property's maintenance history shows active management response to both required safety improvements and resident concerns, with most issues being addressed and corrected within reasonable timeframes.
