1557-1559 Francisco St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The three-story duplex at 1557-1559 Francisco Street in the Marina district, built in 1927, has undergone substantial renovations and improvements over recent years, with the most significant work taking place between 2020 and 2022. The property, owned by 225-17th Avenue LLC, completed a major renovation project in 2020-2021 valued at approximately $350,000 that included window replacements, stair relocations, bathroom and kitchen reconfigurations, and the addition of an elevator. Subsequent modifications in 2021-2022 involved additional fireplace relocations and laundry room reconfigurations.

The building's infrastructure has been significantly upgraded, with new plumbing systems installed in 2020 including radiant heat, multiple gas lines, six bathrooms, two kitchens, and new underground utilities, along with an electrical panel upgrade to 400 amps. The project also included comprehensive insulation work throughout the building. The property underwent some ownership changes affecting residency status, including a tenant buyout in August 2018 involving two tenants and a payment of $50,000.

Planning records indicate successful approval for various modifications including light well infill and window replacements, with assurance that no dwelling units were lost and no changes to unit count or square footage occurred. The building's recent history shows no significant safety or compliance issues, though there have been several 311 calls related to bicycle lane blocking near the property in 2018-2019, and one temporary sign request for moving purposes in 2018. A reroofing project was also completed in 2018, marking the most recent significant exterior maintenance work prior to the major renovations.
