221 Downey St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-unit residential building at 221 Downey St in Buena Vista Park, owned by Scott Lopatin, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent including efforts to legalize additional living spaces, such as an in-law unit (in progress as of 2019) and a third-floor bedroom in unit #3 (currently on hold). In 2013, major safety upgrades were completed with the replacement of four Federal Pacific electric panels and reroofing work valued at $15,650.

The building has seen substantial unit-specific renovations, including a $20,000 kitchen remodel in unit #2 in 2012 that encompassed new cabinets, countertop, sink, appliances, and energy-efficient lighting. This period also included comprehensive plumbing improvements, such as water heater installations and various kitchen and bathroom updates across multiple units. The property has maintained regular upkeep with no recorded safety violations, though it has experienced various minor quality-of-life issues typical for the area.

These include several parking-related incidents (including blocked driveways and illegal parking), occasional garbage concerns, and one noise complaint related to a major event venue. Most of these issues were resolved promptly through appropriate channels, and there are no ongoing legal or safety concerns noted in the recent history of the building. The property's maintenance record shows consistent attention to necessary upgrades and repairs, with all major permits marked as complete, indicating proper adherence to regulatory requirements.
