3734-3736 Taraval St, San Francisco, CA 94116

The property at 3734-3736 Taraval St is a two-unit residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Parkside neighborhood, owned by the Mary Ng Trust. Built in 1948, this two-story flats and duplex building has undergone several modifications and faced some regulatory challenges over the years.

The most significant recent building-related issue occurred in 2016 when there was a complaint about an unpermitted building addition in the backyard on the ground floor, which prompted subsequent permitted work including bathroom and kitchen remodeling, concrete slab repairs, and painting at a cost of $15,000. There were also attempts to legalize a ground floor unit in 2017, though this permit was withdrawn. Earlier improvements include the installation of three aluminum windows in 1991, relocation of furnaces and water heaters in 1984, removal of balcony stucco in 1984, and a 2005 upgrade to a 200-amp underground electrical system.

The property has experienced periodic maintenance and safety-related issues in its vicinity, with the most recent concerns in 2023 involving reports of graffiti and illegal postings, both of which were resolved or closed without further action. Historical records show multiple instances of illegal parking involving scooter vehicles in September 2021, and various service requests including street cleaning in 2022 and graffiti removal in 2019. Notably, there was a tenant buyout at a nearby address (3727 Taraval Street) in September 2019 involving one tenant and an amount of $45,000, though it is unclear if this directly relates to the subject property.
