1227 Taraval St, San Francisco, CA 94116

The 1227 Taraval Street property is a 2-story, multi-family residential building with ground floor commercial space, built in 1927 and currently owned by the Choy Family Trust - Trust A. The building, housing two residential units, has undergone several significant changes over the past decades, including a major earthquake repair in 1990 that addressed damage to the foundation, electrical systems, and sheetrock.

The ground floor has transitioned from retail to laundry services and is now proposed to be converted into a childcare center for children aged 3 months to 5 years, as indicated by current planning records. In 2022, the property experienced a heating system issue that prompted building violations, which were resolved within approximately six weeks through the replacement of water heater and gas furnace. The building has a history of fire safety incidents, though none have resulted in civilian injuries; these include false alarms, a carbon monoxide incident, and a cooking-related fire, with the most recent being a malfunctioning alarm system in 2020.

The property has faced several maintenance challenges in the past year, with multiple 311 calls regarding graffiti, garbage, and debris issues between July 2024 and January 2025. While most of these issues have been resolved, there are currently two open cases from late 2024 related to graffiti on public infrastructure and a damaged tree. The building's history includes a mixture of residential and commercial uses, with the ground floor's transition to childcare services representing the latest significant change to the property.
