1511-1519 Taraval St, San Francisco, CA 94116

The 12-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 1511-1519 Taraval Street in Parkside, owned by Brian Connolly, was constructed in 1987 and has undergone several significant modifications and faced various challenges over its lifetime. The building has had consistent wireless telecommunications facility maintenance and upgrades between 1996 and 2016, with multiple antenna installations and modifications, including a 2016 project costing $25,000. Major electrical upgrades were completed in 2017-2018, including a service upgrade from 100 to 200 amps, and the building has undergone several plumbing improvements including a sink installation in 2012.

The building has faced multiple compliance issues, particularly regarding the commercial spaces on the first floor. A notable violation from 2007 regarding the separation of commercial spaces (1517 and 1519) led to an abatement process that was finally resolved in 2010. There were also several complaints about unauthorized modifications to commercial spaces, including unauthorized construction of additional rooms and changes to plumbing fixtures, with the most recent being a vacant commercial storefront complaint filed in 2019 that remains active.

The building's safety systems, including fire alarms, have required attention over the years with three documented fire-related incidents between 2009 and 2012, though all were determined to be system-related with no actual fires or injuries reported. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 indicate ongoing property maintenance issues, including garbage/debris complaints and signage violations, though most were resolved promptly. The property has maintained active use as a residential building while accommodating commercial spaces, with regulatory compliance being the primary challenge over its operational history.
