209-211 Cole St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit residential building at 209-211 Cole Street in Park North, owned by Jim J Walker and Audrey Finer, was constructed in 1906 and has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades. Most recently, in September 2024, a comprehensive renovation of the powder room was completed, including new fixtures, tile work, and plumbing modifications, with associated electrical work currently pending completion.

The building has received regular maintenance and upgrades, including a complete reroofing project in 2018 costing $18,800. Significant structural work was performed in 2001 with the installation of new anchor bolts for seismic safety, and various kitchen and bathroom renovations have been completed over the years, including a substantial kitchen remodel in 2000 valued at $35,000 and bathroom updates in 2002 for unit 211. The property has experienced some issues requiring attention, including a water heater replacement in 2015 and two concerning fire incidents involving carbon monoxide and water/steam leaks, though no civilian injuries were reported in either case.

More recently, in November 2024, there was a sewage backup incident involving the side sewer vent that required resolution by the PUC Sewer Operations team. The building has faced persistent parking enforcement issues, with multiple complaints about blocked driveways occurring throughout 2024, resulting in several citations being issued. While these parking issues indicate a recurring challenge in the area, they are not directly related to the building's condition or safety.
