1601-1605 Taraval St, San Francisco, CA 94116

The two-story multi-family residential building located at 1601-1605 Taraval Street in the Parkside neighborhood, owned by Survivors Tr Taylor Fmly Tr, consists of 4 units and includes retail space. Built in 1948, the property has undergone several significant changes over the years.

Most recently, in February 2023, the ground floor commercial space underwent a change of use from office to a sole practitioner massage establishment, which was approved by Planning under the Neighborhood Commercial Zoning District regulations. In 2018, the building underwent maintenance work including the removal and replacement of fascia boards between the first and second floors, while a fire suppression system installation project from 2004 is now shown as expired. The building has experienced an unusual cluster of sanitation issues in recent months, with multiple 311 calls recorded between December 2024 and January 2025, primarily regarding garbage and debris on or near the property, including numerous reports of overflowing city garbage cans.

While these waste management issues appear to be primarily external to the building itself, they may affect the general environment around the property. The building's fire safety systems have triggered multiple false alarms over the years, with six documented incidents of system activation between 2005 and 2023, though none resulted in actual fires or civilian injuries. These consist of four false alarms, two cases of smoke detector malfunction, and one unintentional alarm system activation.
