2560-2562 Vallejo St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building at 2560-2562 Vallejo Street in San Francisco's Pacific Heights neighborhood, constructed in 1910, has undergone significant renovation work in recent years. The property is currently undergoing extensive improvements, with several active permits indicating a comprehensive facade remodeling project, including new windows, doors, siding, parapets, guards, roofing, and landscaping, with costs exceeding $2 million between 2022-2023. The work also includes a full seismic upgrade, excavation of a lower level, and reconfiguration of interior spaces, with the addition of solar panels and aluminum-clad windows.

In early 2025, there are plans for additional work including a retaining wall at the west side of the rear yard. The renovation period has been marked by several notable events, including some community concerns. In late 2022, there was a neighbor complaint about construction activity and permit postings, though no violations were confirmed. A significant building-related incident occurred in March 2024 when contractors reportedly discovered a 7-foot tall stone archway during excavation work, which the caller believed might have historical significance.

Recent infrastructure issues have been documented, including multiple sewer-related service calls in late 2024, suggesting some ongoing maintenance challenges related to the building's plumbing systems. The property has a historical context as it is located in the Pacific Heights Historic District, though it has been identified as a non-contributing property in recent assessments. While there was a cancelled permit in 2009 for a proposed unit merger, current permits confirm the building remains as two distinct units. Prior to the extensive renovation work, the building underwent exploratory demolition in 2021 to assess structural elements and utilities.
