91 Balmy St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 2888-2890 Harrison Street is a two-unit, two-story residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Christopher Giotinis. The building has undergone significant renovations and improvements in recent years, with the most substantial work occurring between 2018 and 2024. In 2022-2024, comprehensive interior remodeling was completed, including kitchen and bathroom relocations, bedroom additions, and window replacements in both units, along with a complete electrical upgrade including new 100-amp panels for each unit.

A notable recent development is the conversion of the garage into a 1-bedroom ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit), for which permits were issued in April 2023 with an estimated cost of $131,860. The building's maintenance history shows attention to infrastructure, including a recent roof replacement (February 2024), electrical upgrades (March 2024), and plumbing improvements. The property has experienced several building complaints and compliance issues, particularly during construction periods. In 2022-2023, there were complaints regarding construction safety, work hours, and historical mural preservation in Balmy Alley, though these issues were addressed and closed.

A sewer lateral replacement was completed in July 2022, and various improvement projects have been permitted and executed, suggesting active management of the property's maintenance and upgrade needs. The property has also seen one tenant buyout recorded on August 12, 2021, involving a payment of $50,000 to five tenants. Recent 311 calls mostly relate to street cleaning and parking enforcement matters, indicating typical urban neighborhood issues rather than specific building problems. The building's permitted improvements suggest substantial investment in modernizing the property while maintaining its historic character, with particular focus on improving both units' amenities and adding additional living space through the garage conversion.
