278-280 Francisco St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The property at 278-280 Francisco Street in Telegraph Hill is a 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1925, currently owned by the Michael Piscitello Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent being a December 2024 sidewalk defect report related to tree root lifting, an open issue as of now.

Between 2016-2018, major window upgrades were completed, including the installation of aluminum clad wood windows across the front facade, totaling $25,000 in improvements. In 2010, substantial renovations were undertaken on Unit A, including kitchen and bathroom remodeling ($26,000), along with electrical rewiring, plumbing updates, and drywall insulation work ($6,000).

The building had a notable cluster of safety violations in July 2005 related to fire safety and gas utility requirements, including the need for fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and gas shutoff tools, though all these violations were abated by August 2005. More recently, there have been multiple parking-related complaints at the property, with three blocking driveway incidents reported in October 2023, though the majority of parking complaints were either resolved or invalidated. Two general cleaning issues were reported and resolved in 2020 and 2022, and there is currently an open graffiti complaint from June 2024.
