244-246 Douglass St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 244-246 Douglass Street, owned by the David Sayed Living Trust, is a two-story structure built in 1900 in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The property has undergone significant renovations and maintenance over the years, with the most recent work being a completed reroofing project in November 2024 costing $23,800, and the removal of a clay pipe section from the basement in September 2024.

A major renovation was attempted in 2018 involving the upper unit of 244, which included roof modifications, new floor layouts, and the addition of multiple rooms and bathrooms, though there were subsequent complications leading to withdrawn discretionary review applications. The building underwent significant interior upgrades in 2006-2009, including kitchen and bathroom remodeling, electrical work, and plumbing improvements, with particular attention to the upper unit's modernization. Recent inspections and maintenance records show ongoing attention to infrastructure, including a 2022 sewer lateral work permit and various plumbing, electrical, and general maintenance updates.

The property has experienced typical urban challenges as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2022-2025 regarding sidewalk defects, noise, and street cleaning, though these are not directly related to the building's condition. Planning records indicate attempts to modify the property configuration, including converting the ground floor to a second dwelling unit, with varying success in securing necessary approvals. A 2007 variance request was approved to permit certain additions and alterations to the existing two-unit dwelling, highlighting the property's evolving nature and the owner's efforts to enhance its living space capacity.
