New permits have been filed for a residential redesign at 3676 17th Street in San Francisco’s Mission District. The development will replace a nearly century-old facade of the 1872-built structure with an Italianate-inspired design while retaining the existing residential capacity. Wilson Constantine is listed as the property owner.

The wood frame structure was built in 1872 by an unknown architect. According to a historical review conducted in 2022, the building is considered ineligible for listing. The project will replace a 1930s Mission Revival grey stucco-clad facade with some Spanish tile roofing. New plans for the site have been drafted by Ashley August of Nanka. The architect plans to cover the three-story building with Hardie Artistic v-Groove planks, a single bay window, and an ornamental projecting cornice.
The project is located within the recently established Chula-Abbey Early Residential Historic District. The district spans 54 small-lot properties, of which 35 are considered contributing properties. The listed structures include single-family and apartment buildings with architectural detailings ranging from the vernacular to Italianate, Classical Revival, and Queen Anne styles. The period of significance is considered between 1865-1880 and 1907-1912.

The 0.08-acre property is located along 17th Street between Dolores Street and Church Street, between the Mission High School campus and the 1776-established Mission San Francisco de Asis. City records show the property last sold in 2010 for over $1.5 million. The estimated cost and timeline for construction have yet to be shared.

It looks like a favorable improvement. As a close neighbor, I did not receive any notice from DBI. Is this no longer required?
Neighborhood notification may not be required if project scope doesn’t trigger it. Changes like vertical/horizontal addition, demolition of more than 70% of interior walls, new deck taller than 3 feet, etc. require neighborhood notification.
In most cases if a remodel stays within current footprint and most walls remain in place, then neighborhood notification is not required
