Preliminary permits have been filed for new housing at 64 Ord Court in Corona Heights, San Francisco. The pre-application proposes demolishing an existing single-family home, splitting the lot into two parcels, and constructing two duplexes. Schaub Li Architects is responsible for the application and design.
The longer parcel extends from Ord Court to States Street. The proposed lot split would result in two buildings overlooking opposing roads. The Ord Court lot would span 1,960 square feet, and the lot facing States Street would be 2,169 square feet.
The States Street building will be four stories over a basement with two three-bedroom units across 4,720 square feet, a two-car garage, and space for two bicycles. The Ord Court Building will be two stories with two two-bedroom units and a roof deck, with the ground floor unit classified as an accessory dwelling unit. Parking will be included for one car and two bicycles.

Demolition will be required for an existing single-family house facing Ord Court. According to a 2020 historic evaluation by Tim Kelley Consulting, the building “does not appear historically or architecturally significant,” adding that the architect or builder is unknown and that the vernacular structure could have been built between 1913 and 1938.
The recent pre-application invokes Senate Bill 330 to streamline the approval process and “freeze, with limited exceptions, planning code provisions, policies, and standards” as of the filing date. The formal development application has yet to be submitted.

Stand back…I’m sure the NIMBYs are on their way.
NMBYs don’t work on Sundays. Remember, NIMBYs are also slackers, since the free money of home equity has atrophied any residual work ethic.
I am glad a SF home is being replaced with two duplexes (four dwellings).
Are all of you philistines blind!?!? Can’t you see the historic and architectural significance of the sloping, tiled cornice, not to mention the likely loss of an irreplaceable imported palm tree? And let’s not overlook the loss of a States Street view corridor! /s
You forgot to mention that in 1969, this was one of the most productive meth labs in the neighborhood, making this house culturally, historically, and educationally significant, and thus a designated heritage site that cannot be demolished. (also /s)
Lame.
Yes, NIMBYs are lame. Thanks for admitting that.
