375-377 Banks St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit residential building at 375-377 Banks Street in Bernal Heights is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1908, currently owned by Collins Living Trust. The property has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the years, with particular attention to a spiral staircase installation that generated multiple permit applications between 2000 and 2004, though ultimately none were completed as originally intended.

Major structural work was proposed in 2002, including foundation replacement and first-floor expansion, with permits totaling $45,000, though these permits expired without completion. More recent improvements include a plumbing upgrade with a sewer lateral replacement in 2021, and basement remodeling work in 2003 that involved electrical modifications.

The building has experienced several environmental challenges in recent years, notably with three open cases regarding tree root damage to the sidewalk in 2023, though these are managed by the Department of Public Works. There have also been recurring issues with parking enforcement, particularly regarding blocked driveways, with three documented violations in October 2023 alone, two of which resulted in citations. The property appears to be generally well-maintained in terms of infrastructure, with all recent permits marked as complete, though the persistent tree root issues and parking violations in the vicinity suggest ongoing neighborhood challenges.
