263-265 Ripley St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit residential building at 263-265 Ripley Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Elton Blum, was constructed in 1977 and has undergone several significant renovations to maintain and upgrade its features over the decades. The most recent major work occurred between 2016-2017, including comprehensive bathroom upgrades ($30,000) with new plumbing fixtures, electrical work, and the installation of a hydro-massage tub, as well as exterior improvements involving siding replacement and window repairs ($26,000 and $7,500 respectively) to address dry rot issues.

Earlier improvements include substantial window replacements in 2011 ($28,000) across multiple facades, and various interior upgrades in the early 1990s focusing on kitchen and bathroom renovations. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts by the owner, with no recorded building or safety violations.

However, there has been a noticeable pattern of parking-related issues in the vicinity of the property throughout 2024, with multiple citations for sidewalk parking and blocked access, though these are external municipal matters and not directly related to the building's condition. Several 311 calls regarding sidewalk access issues were recorded in 2024, with the most recent being an open case from June 2024 involving a Port-A-Potty blocking the sidewalk, though this appears to be related to external circumstances. A false fire alarm incident was recorded in the system's fire incident logs, but no actual fires or injuries have been reported.
