3544 Taraval St, San Francisco, CA 94116

This 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 3544 Taraval Street, built in 1958 and currently owned by Meda Small Properties LLC, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various regulatory challenges over the years. Most recently, in December 2024, the building was issued a permit for the installation of a new automatic fire alarm system at a cost of $20,500. The property has seen substantial electrical upgrades in late 2019, including a complete rewiring of all units with new kitchen outlets, bathroom fans, bedroom outlets, and living room lighting fixtures, along with the replacement of the main panel and conversion to underground service.

Other major improvements include a $100,000 voluntary structural upgrade in 2019, re-roofing projects in both 2019 ($18,760) and 2003 ($7,800), and extensive window replacements in 2011 involving 21 windows on the building's sides. The building's history includes several fire safety violations, particularly regarding fire extinguisher maintenance, with the most recent related issues occurring in 2009-2011, all of which were eventually abated. A noteworthy compliance matter emerged in 2011 concerning unpermitted window installations, though this was resolved by March 2011.

The property has maintained regular routine safety inspections, with the most recent occurring in 2018. Recent exterior concerns have been documented through 311 calls, primarily relating to street cleaning and graffiti issues in 2022-2024, though these do not appear to reflect on the building's internal conditions. Current zoning and planning records remain closed and issued, with no noted variances or conditional use permits. The building's owners have demonstrated ongoing investment in maintenance and safety improvements, as evidenced by the recent fire alarm system installation and previous electrical system upgrades.
