72-74 Ord St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 72-74 Ord Street in Corona Heights is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1880, currently owned by the Malcolm Davis Revocable Trust. The building has undergone significant maintenance and improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent work focusing on bathroom renovations and safety upgrades. In 2024, there were comprehensive updates to the first-floor bathroom ($25,000), including new plumbing, electrical work, and safety features such as smoke detectors.

Earlier maintenance included reroofing work in 2022 ($28,200) and the addition of a garage on the front yard, which was permitted in 2022 for $324,386. The building also received attention for structural issues, with recent repairs addressing dry rot in ceiling framing (2024) and historical foundation waterproofing work completed in 2005. The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including electrical upgrades such as a sub-panel update and installation of various fixtures in 2017, as well as multiple bathroom renovations.

There was a brief incident in 2005 involving an illegal architectural business operating in the downstairs unit, which was promptly addressed within a week. Recent months have seen several street cleaning and parking-related issues documented through 311 calls, particularly regarding illegal parking and garbage removal, though these are external to the building itself and relate to general neighborhood conditions. One maintenance issue worth noting is the ongoing status of graffiti reported in June 2024 on park property near the building. Overall, the building's permit and maintenance record indicates regular upkeep and investment in infrastructure, though the addition of a front garage and multiple bathroom renovations suggest ongoing modernization efforts.
