261 2nd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 261 2nd Avenue in the Inner Richmond is a two-unit residential building constructed in 1902, currently owned by the Elizabeth P Mark Revocable Living Trust. This flats and duplex structure underwent significant renovations in 2010, including an 8-foot horizontal addition into the rear yard across two levels, which added a new ground-floor unit and parking space, along with major updates to foundations, bathrooms, mechanical systems, and electrical systems.

The comprehensive electrical upgrade in 2011 included a 200-amp service installation with extensive circuitry and safety features, while plumbing improvements added three bathrooms, two kitchens, and laundry facilities. The building's more recent history has been marked by several waste management issues, particularly in 2024, with multiple reports of abandoned furniture and debris on or near the property. Between July and August 2024, there were at least seven incidents involving garbage and debris, including reports of loose garbage, furniture, and appliance disposal, most of which were either resolved through city services or marked as private property issues.

The most recent building-related activity was a garbage and debris complaint in January 2025 involving an abandoned refrigerator. Prior to these incidents, the property had relatively few documented issues, with the majority of permits in the system related to 2010-2011 renovations and three street space permits issued in 2011-2012. The records also show a driving violation report from 2019 regarding a vehicle blocking a driveway, though the responding officer was unable to locate the vehicle.
