255 Cumberland St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 255 Cumberland Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. Built in 1924, this flats/duplex structure has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past few decades. Most recently, in August 2023, the building required repair work due to dry rot at the rear, which was attributed to heavy rains, costing $25,000.

This followed a pattern of weather-related maintenance, as highlighted by a 2018 foundation repair project and the 2020 installation of new windows and doors. The building's infrastructure has seen important updates including a sewer replacement in 2007 and termite remediation in 1984. While the property has maintained basic structural integrity, the recent dry rot issue raises some concerns about water damage susceptibility.

The building's recent history shows a recurring issue with parking enforcement, particularly regarding blocked driveways, with several documented incidents between 2019 and 2023, though most cases were either resolved with citations or the vehicles could not be located. A graffiti incident was reported in October 2022, which was affected by the pandemic-related suspension of enforcement for the San Francisco Graffiti Ordinance. Historical records from 1991 indicate a reroofing project, though the status of this permit is listed as expired. The property appears to have undergone regular maintenance and improvement work over the years, with the most substantial recent investment being the dry rot repairs in 2023.
