261-263 San Carlos St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 261-263 San Carlos Street is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by the Florence J Lee Survivors Trust. The building contains two residential units and includes a commercial space, classified as a "Flat & Store" with 4 units or less. Recent activity at the property includes several permitting attempts in September 2023 for changing the use of a space from a photo/design studio to a daycare, and to address compliance with the SF ABE program, both of which were withdrawn.

A commercial space address addition was successfully issued in 2014. The property and its immediate vicinity have experienced a notable pattern of maintenance challenges throughout 2024-2025, particularly regarding graffiti. There have been multiple reports of non-offensive graffiti on various structures including poles, signal boxes, and other surfaces, with most cases remaining open as of mid-2024.

The area has also seen regular street cleaning issues, with several reports of garbage, debris, and abandoned furniture needing attention, all of which have been resolved. Of particular note, planning records indicate an approved change of use for a childcare facility with a maximum of 7 children, though this was later marked as withdrawn in September 2023. An earlier inquiry regarding the operation of a commercial enterprise in the residential area was closed with no violation found.
