1785-1787 Alabama St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit residential building at 1785-1787 Alabama Street in Bernal Heights is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1909, currently owned by Derek Lee Bowen and Row Tigno. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past two decades, with the most recent being a $19,000 reroofing project completed in late 2022.

The building's history shows particular attention to garage-related issues, with a sequence of events between 2002-2003 involving the demolition of a deteriorating garage, documented in a violation notice for severe dry rot and termite damage that posed safety concerns, followed by the construction of a new private parking garage at a cost of $45,000. The property has experienced several maintenance challenges, including a 2010 complaint regarding improper lead paint handling during window removal work, and a 2005 incident of unauthorized demolition work.

More recently, there have been numerous 311 calls in 2024 primarily concerning street cleaning issues, garbage, and parking violations, though these appear to be more related to neighborhood conditions than building-specific problems. A rear yard variance was approved for the construction of the garage, indicating proper adherence to regulatory requirements for this significant modification. The building's permit and violation history suggests ongoing maintenance investment by the owners, particularly with the most recent major roof renovation in 2022.
