25 Bessie St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit, one-story multi-family residential building at 25 Bessie Street in Bernal Heights, owned by the McCarthy/Grimm Family Trust, has a documented history dating back to its 1902 construction. The most significant recent activity involves a proposed home remodel in 2019, which aimed to convert an existing bathroom into an open deck area, reducing the extent of the legal non-conforming enclosed space by removing walls and utilizing the existing overhead roof for coverage. This permit, with no associated cost listed, remains in "Filed" status as of 2019.

Earlier improvements include a completed skylight installation in 1987 and termite repairs in 1984. A furnace replacement was documented under plumbing permits in 2012, though this permit has since expired. The property and its immediate surroundings have experienced recurring issues with street cleanliness, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls primarily regarding loose garbage and debris on or near the property between 2018 and 2024.

These cases were generally resolved through city services, with the most recent clean-up occurring in November 2024. There has been one notable infrastructure issue recorded in 2020 involving a lifted sidewalk and missing sewer vent cover, which was resolved. A tree maintenance request from November 2023 remains open, indicating an overgrown tree condition, while an earlier 2023 tree pruning request was accepted for processing. The building's maintenance and improvement history suggests periodic attention to both interior upgrades and exterior concerns, with the most significant proposed modification being the 2019 deck conversion project.
