1215-1217 Taraval St, San Francisco, CA 94116

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1215-1217 Taraval Street, owned by Gus and Mary Paplos, has a notable history dating back to its 1911 construction. The property experienced significant damage from fire in 2003, resulting in multiple repairs including electrical system restoration, plumbing work, and structural repairs totaling over $100,000, with associated emergency work to mitigate water damage.

In 2015, the building faced mechanical code compliance issues in the ground floor commercial area, leading to violations regarding improperly vented equipment, which required additional work to resolve, including the installation of a basement vent system costing $1,500. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including multiple roofing projects (2001 and 2003), and significant electrical system upgrades, with a 400-amp main service installation completed in 2003.

Recent activity at the property has primarily involved addressing exterior maintenance issues, with multiple reports of garbage and debris on the property and surrounding area in early 2025, though these are generally routine municipal service matters rather than building-specific issues. The property has undergone various planning review processes, including a disapproved proposal for a rear addition on second and third floors, though no additional dwelling unit was ultimately constructed. While the building has experienced several significant events, the most recent major work was completed in 2015, and there have been no recorded safety violations or hazardous materials incidents in recent years.
