1801 Taraval St, San Francisco, CA 94116

The 6-unit, 2-story apartment building at 1801 Taraval Street in the Parkside neighborhood, constructed in 1957, has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements over its history. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 under SFBC Chapter 4D, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

In early 2023, the property experienced an incident when a car struck the building, damaging garage doors and structural elements, which was subsequently repaired with permits totaling $4,500. Other recent improvements include a 2006 upgrade to the electrical system with an underground service conversion, and historical records show previous roofing work in 1989 and 2011. The building's history includes several maintenance and safety inspections throughout the 2000s, with notable violations in 2003 regarding fire safety, smoke detection systems, and stair repairs, though these were all resolved by March 2003.

Fire incidents on record include a malfunctioning alarm system and a structural concern, both of which occurred without civilian injuries. Recent activity at the property has primarily involved external maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding sidewalk conditions and street cleaning needs, though these are not directly related to building safety or habitability. The building's recent compliance with the soft-story retrofit program (designated as Tier 3) and the prompt resolution of the 2023 vehicle collision damage suggest active management of structural and safety concerns.
