200-202 Downey St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story multi-family residential building at 200-202 Downey Street, located in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood, is a duplex property built in 1900 currently owned by the Khedekar-Bhandari Family Trust. The building has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past decade, with the most substantial work occurring in 2014-2015, including a complete foundation replacement, first floor framing reconstruction, and voluntary seismic retrofit costing $70,000.

During this period, there were several building violations filed in September 2015 related to unauthorized work, including concerns about an allegedly illegal in-law unit, French drain installation, and miscellaneous electrical and plumbing work, though these violations were subsequently abated. The property has undergone numerous improvements since 2012, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, installation of new windows (2006), deck replacement, and various electrical and plumbing updates. In late 2015, the building underwent comprehensive electrical and plumbing upgrades, including the installation of new outlets, switches, water lines, and a French drain in the rear yard, with total costs exceeding $13,000 for these improvements alone.

Historical records show earlier work including front stairs replacement and street space permits. The building had some operational complaints regarding illegal units and renovation work in 2014-2015, but these issues appear to have been resolved based on permit completions and violation abatements. Recent history shows typical urban maintenance issues such as sidewalk cleaning and parking violations, with the latest activity recorded in 2024 being a sidewalk parking enforcement case.
