182 Banks St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit residential building at 182 Banks Street in Bernal Heights is a two-story flats/duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by Richard & Valerie Girling R. The property underwent significant improvements in 2007-2008, including a major full house remodel valued at $223,400 that encompassed kitchen and bathroom updates, seismic upgrades, new windows, slab work, and heating system installation. This renovation also included substantial electrical work, with the installation of 50 lights, 20 switches, 100 receptacles, and 20 circuits, though one electrical permit from August 2007 was cancelled.

A solar panel system was added to the property in November 2017, consisting of 12 PV modules with a total capacity of 4.32 kW. Recent maintenance issues of concern include multiple incidents of sewage backup problems in late 2023 and mid-2024, with the most recent being a resolved case involving a 4-inch sewer vent issue. The property has experienced persistent street-related issues, with several reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity between late 2023 and 2025.

Noise complaints were recorded in April and May 2024, though these were accepted as informational reports. Historical permits show earlier improvements, including a garage door installation in 2008, conversion of overhead power to underground service in 2004, and substantial electrical work in 2008 involving 100 receptacles and multiple circuits. The building's maintenance history suggests regular updates and improvements, particularly during the 2007-2008 period, though the recent plumbing issues indicate some ongoing infrastructure challenges.
