61 Coleridge St, San Francisco, CA 94110

Situated in the Bernal Heights neighborhood, 61 Coleridge Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Peter G Butera. The property has undergone several significant modifications over the years, with the most pressing current issue being an active complaint (filed October 2023) regarding the unauthorized merger of two units into a single-family home, resulting in code violation notices from November 2023 and a final warning letter in February 2024.

The building has experienced substantial structural work, particularly in the early 2000s, with foundation repairs and termite treatments completed (August 2001 - $45,000; August 2000 - $10,000). More recent improvements include garage-related work in 2016, with concrete wall construction, deck replacement, and electrical/plumbing updates totaling approximately $64,500. The property has a documented history of parking-related issues in the vicinity, particularly during 2019 when there were multiple enforcement actions taken against vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks, resulting in several citations.

The building's current status is somewhat complicated, with applications under review to potentially restore the previously removed unit through an addition over the existing garage, as per the findings of the 2023 enforcement case. Historical records show various attempted modifications, including a withdrawn 2001 application to convert from a two-unit to a single-family residence, and multiple permits from 2002 related to kitchen and bathroom remodeling, lighting updates, and foundation work. The property has maintained a regular pattern of building maintenance and upgrades, with particular attention paid to structural integrity and garage facilities, though the recent unit merger violation remains a significant unresolved issue.
