115-117 Madrid St, San Francisco, CA 94112

The property at 115-117 Madrid Street is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by James C Sr & Margarette D N. The recent and most significant development involves plans, filed in January 2024, to create a new accessory dwelling unit (ADU) in the basement comprising one living room, two bedrooms, toilet, and kitchen. This follows a pattern of ongoing improvements to the building, including front stairway repairs in October 2023, and substantial electrical upgrades completed in 2007 that included installation of new breaker panels and metering systems.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural elements, with previous work including reroofing in 2005 and stair repairs in 2004. In recent months, there has been notable activity regarding waste disposal and street cleaning around the property, with multiple 311 calls in late 2024/early 2025 concerning abandoned electronics, garbage, and debris, including a refrigerator and furniture on the street. There were also two reports of sidewalk parking violations in December 2024.

A building complaint from July 2009 regarding a potentially hazardous fence was filed but subsequently abated. Planning records indicate both an ADU conversion review and previous renovations involving exterior stairs and interior work. The owners have demonstrated consistent investment in property improvements over the years, with only one tenant buyout recorded in the vicinity (at 142 Edinburgh Street in May 2023 for $56,600 involving two tenants).
