27 Pond St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The two-unit, two-story residential building at 27 Pond Street in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, owned by the Josh Bottfeld Trust, has a substantial history of structural improvements and maintenance since its construction in 1900. Significant historical renovations include a horizontal addition completed in 1997, installation of new tie beams and posts in 1999-2000, and basement improvements with plywood installation in 2017 costing approximately $16,260.

Earlier maintenance work included reroofing in 1992, though there was one building complaint filed in 2000 regarding unpermitted basement work that was abated within days. The building has undergone several sidewalk and street space improvements, with the most recent street space permit issued in 2020.

The immediate vicinity of the building has experienced numerous encampment-related incidents in recent years, particularly notable between late 2023 and 2024, with multiple resolved cases involving encampment cleanups that achieved varying degrees of clearance (in one instance, achieving 4 feet of clearance). Other recent neighborhood issues include reports of garbage and debris (including abandoned furniture) in September 2024. While these external community issues have been consistently addressed and resolved by city agencies, they represent a significant number of recent incidents in the area's immediate surroundings, particularly related to homelessness and urban cleanliness challenges.
