3232 Taraval St, San Francisco, CA 94116

The 8-unit, 2-story apartment building at 3232 Taraval St in the Outer Parkside neighborhood, built in 1948 and owned by Norman Yee, has undergone significant maintenance and improvements over the past 15 years. Most recently, in May 2023, Unit #5 received a bathroom remodel with plumbing and electrical upgrades costing $20,500. The building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (cost: $75,000), demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

Between 2015-2018, multiple units received individual bathroom renovations and window replacements, including Units 7 and 8. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues, particularly between 2016-2019, including multiple violations related to plumbing, electrical systems, and building maintenance that were subsequently abated. Notable concerns included hoarding in 2019, blocked exits in multiple instances (2018-2019), and various fire alarm system issues.

Recent complaints from December 2023 raised concerns about unpermitted electrical work and potential unlawful unit modifications, though one of these complaints was subsequently marked as not active. The property has maintained compliance with all major requirements, including completing fire alarm system maintenance, though there have been recurring issues with waste management and pest control as evidenced by multiple tenant complaints. The most recent violations primarily relate to unpermitted modifications and maintenance concerns, which while serious, should be viewed in the context of the building's overall history of prompt response to and resolution of compliance issues when properly documented.
