209 States St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The two-unit residential building at 209 States Street in San Francisco's Corona Heights neighborhood was constructed in 1923 and is currently owned by the David Cannon Trust. The property underwent significant renovations in the mid-2000s, including a major project in 2006 that involved legalizing a lower-level dwelling unit (209A) with new kitchen and bathroom installations, costing $28,000. Earlier improvements in 2005 included substantial renovations to both units, featuring new kitchen and bathroom fixtures, window replacements, and wall modifications, totaling $40,000.

In 2010, the building received exterior maintenance with the installation of siding on two side walls, costing $7,900. Several proposed improvements were considered but not implemented, including a cancelled 2003 roof-raising project and an expired permit from 2005 for removing a non-conforming kitchen. Recent municipal service calls from 2022 to 2024 primarily relate to street maintenance issues such as graffiti removal, sidewalk cleaning, and illegal postings, with the most recent incidents occurring in 2024.

A notable 2024 Rent Board request resulted in a fee waiver due to the owner's housing exemption status. The building's history includes approved planning records for important structural modifications, including the legalization of the basement unit without additional parking requirements and a variance for rear yard alterations involving new deck and bay window construction. The property has maintained compliance with housing regulations, with no recorded safety violations or resident complaints regarding building conditions.
