1925-1927 Ellis St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The property at 1925-1927 Ellis Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Western Addition neighborhood, owned by Rodolfo & Karen Cancino Lvg and constructed in 1900. The building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past three decades, with the most recent major work occurring between 2020-2021, including a substantial kitchen remodel costing $49,000 that involved casework and appliance replacement, as well as structural modifications to enlarge the dining room. During this period, both water heaters were replaced with high-efficiency units, and electrical work was performed to update outlets, switches, and lighting.

The building has received consistent maintenance attention, including window replacements (five windows in 2010, three windows in 2009, and retrofitting in 2011), dry rot siding replacement in 2015, and seismic strengthening of the garage area in 2003. Recent maintenance issues have emerged that warrant attention, including an open sidewalk defect reported in October 2024 involving a collapsed sidewalk, and water leak issues in January 2024. The property has experienced periodic maintenance needs typical of its age, including plumbing updates (house trap replaced in 2010, various fixtures in 2020-2021), heating system improvements (furnace installation in 2015), and roof maintenance (re-roofing in 2009).

The building's owners have demonstrated regular investment in property upgrades, including the installation of a solar PV system in 2009 and various interior improvements. While there have been some quality-of-life issues reported through 311 calls, such as sidewalk parking violations and graffiti, these have generally been resolved promptly. The property appears to be well-maintained overall, with systematic upgrades to key systems and regular addressing of maintenance needs, though the recent sidewalk collapse and water leak issues represent current challenges that may impact resident experience.
