25 Belcher St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The two-unit residential building at 25 Belcher St in Duboce Triangle is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by Dorothy Katherine Paulsen R. The property has undergone at least one significant permitted improvement in recent years, specifically a $10,000 reroofing project completed in 2017.

The building's location has experienced recurring public safety and maintenance challenges, particularly during the past two years. The most recent incidents, recorded in October 2024, include an offensive graffiti case on a pole and an encampment report that was closed due to the location being unable to be located. The property has faced persistent issues with graffiti and public space maintenance, with multiple incidents documented through 311 calls between 2021 and 2024, including building graffiti in April 2023, multiple defaced parking signs in 2023, and various general service requests to Public Works.

A notable contextual factor is the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on graffiti enforcement in 2023, when the Board of Supervisors suspended regular abatement requirements, leading to a backlog of complaints. The building's surroundings have also experienced challenges with encampments, as evidenced by multiple reports, though some were closed without resolution. The property's documented permit history is minimal, with only the reroofing project on record since 2017, suggesting limited major structural or system modifications in recent years.
