251 Ellsworth St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit residential building at 251 Ellsworth Street in Bernal Heights is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by Donald W. Chunn. The building's maintenance record shows several significant improvements, including a complete roof replacement with new asphalt shingles in 2014 (approximately $6,000 cost) and an underground electrical system conversion completed in 2004 with a 100-amp service upgrade.

Of particular concern is a building complaint from March 2019 regarding a collapsed retaining wall and fence at the rear of the property, which was reported as hazardous to neighbors; this issue remains in an inactive status according to the building department records. The property has experienced multiple maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly related to tree management and sidewalk conditions. As of 2025, there are open issues with tree root damage to the sidewalk, which has been an ongoing concern since a similar report in November 2023.

The area has also been impacted by various transportation-related incidents, with multiple reports of abandoned vehicles between 2018 and 2025, though most of these vehicles were reported to be gone upon inspection. A driveway blocking incident was recorded in June 2020, which was resolved through enforcement action. The concentration of vehicle-related issues, including the notable presence of abandoned vehicles and parking violations, may indicate challenges with on-street parking availability in the vicinity, though most of these incidents were resolved through standard enforcement procedures.
