705-707 Banks St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 705-707 Banks St in Bernal Heights, owned by Simon P McLaughlin, was constructed in 1968 and has undergone several significant changes over its lifetime. The most substantial renovation occurred in 2010 following a fire incident, which resulted in approximately $80,000 worth of comprehensive repairs including drywall replacement, minor framing work, electrical and plumbing updates, new HVAC installation, kitchen renovation, and garage modifications to convert space back to parking.

That same year, the building received complete system updates with the replacement of two furnaces and associated ductwork, full rewiring of both units with new electrical components, and extensive plumbing work including bathroom and kitchen fixture replacements throughout both units. Most recently, in 2020, the building underwent reroofing work costing $11,600, representing the latest major improvement to the property.

The building's immediate surroundings have experienced numerous maintenance events in 2024, with multiple reports of garbage and debris issues being addressed by city services throughout the summer and fall. Of particular note is an open sidewalk defect reported in September 2024 regarding a collapsed sidewalk, which may impact accessibility and safety. The property has also experienced several parking enforcement issues, with citations being issued for both sidewalk parking and illegal parking in the vicinity during mid-2024, though some complaints were unable to be verified by responding officers.
