1501 Taraval St, San Francisco, CA 94116

The two-story mixed-use building at 1501 Taraval Street, located in San Francisco's Parkside neighborhood, was constructed in 1925 and contains 4 residential units plus ground floor commercial space. The property, owned by Lee Wai Man, has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major building work being a sewer and house trap replacement in 2022. In 2021, there was an attempt to remodel two bathrooms in the residential units, though this permit was ultimately cancelled.

Earlier improvements included significant commercial space upgrades in 2005, consisting of storefront glass replacement, interior remodeling, and the addition of new facilities, all properly completed with associated electrical work. Historical records show the building once housed a coin laundromat (installed in 1992) before converting to its current configuration. Recent activity at the property has been notable for a series of sanitation-related issues, with multiple reports of garbage and debris on the surrounding streets during late 2024 and early 2025, including both loose debris and abandoned furniture.

There were also two reported incidents of sidewalk parking enforcement needed in December 2024. Of particular concern is a recorded carbon monoxide incident at the property, though no civilian injuries were reported and no specific date was provided in the records. Regular maintenance work has been carried out over the years, including siding repairs and fascia board replacement, though some proposed projects, such as 2018's fascia board work and 2021's bathroom renovations, did not proceed as planned. The building's utility systems have received attention as evidenced by the 2022 plumbing work, suggesting ongoing infrastructure maintenance.
