Augrented Insights Report

The two-unit residential building at 259-261 Francisco Street in Telegraph Hill is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1908, currently owned by Herbert W & Karen L Choy 20. The building's maintenance history shows a consistent pattern of attention to roofing issues, with a significant $12,000 reroofing project completed in 2014 following a roof deck repair in 1985.

More recently, in 2019, a street space permit was issued for work valued at $1, though the specific nature of this permitted work is not detailed in the records. The property has experienced several notable incidents in recent years, with the most pressing being a tree damage report in November 2021 that remains open as of the latest data.

There have been two sewer-related service requests in 2021 (May and June) that were resolved, and three parking enforcement calls regarding driveway blocking between 2019 and 2024, all of which were addressed by responding officers. A CO detector activation due to malfunction was recorded in the fire incident log, though no civilian injuries were reported. While the building's structural maintenance appears to be regularly addressed through permits, the open tree damage case and parking enforcement issues may impact resident experience.
