1615-1617 Taraval St, San Francisco, CA 94116

The 1615-1617 Taraval Street property is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building with ground-floor retail, built in 1923 and currently owned by the Howard L Weston Revocable Trust. The building is undergoing significant interior improvements in 2024, with active permits for comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodeling including new fixtures, appliances, and electrical work valued at $75,000.

In 2005, the property underwent major electrical system upgrades, including underground service conversion and a 200-amp main service upgrade. Recent months have seen multiple reports of garbage and debris, particularly in mid-2024, with several Recology calls regarding abandoned furniture and other waste on the street. The building has experienced recurring fire safety compliance issues, particularly notable between 2018-2024, with multiple violations and complaints regarding alarm systems, exits, extinguishers, and sprinkler systems.

While many of these issues were corrected, they indicate previous concerns about fire safety protocols. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes regarding electrical systems, as evidenced by the completed upgrade in 2005 and ongoing improvements in 2024. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street cleaning and parking enforcement rather than building-specific issues, suggesting surface-level neighborhood maintenance challenges rather than internal structural problems.
