The 10-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2920 Taraval Street in the Outer Parkside neighborhood, owned by Sommer 1989 Trust The and constructed in 1958, has undergone several significant safety upgrades and maintenance projects over its lifetime. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016-2017 (under SFBC Chapter 34B) to improve seismic safety, with work classified as Tier 3 and a Certificate of Final Completion issued.

The property has had several major infrastructure improvements, including a complete electrical service upgrade with a 400A single-phase system and 11 meters installed in 2005, and historical maintenance such as reroofing in 1992 and stucco repair in 1993. The building's safety record shows proactive response to fire safety concerns, with violations in 2001 related to fire escape maintenance and smoke enclosure door closers, all of which were promptly abated within one month. Routine housing inspections have been conducted in 2001, 2011, and most recently in 2019, with no active violations noted.

Recent maintenance issues have primarily centered around exterior elements, including a collapsed sidewalk in 2023 (subsequently resolved), and various street cleaning and waste management cases handled through 311 calls between 2021-2025. A business operating out of the garage space was previously addressed through planning records, indicating attention to code compliance matters. The building's maintenance history demonstrates regular upkeep, with permits for various repairs and improvements tracked over several decades.
