I don't know if this will be exactly a weekly feature but I wanted to share with you various resources we run across from time-to-time that may be useful for you.
Today's tip is a web link:
http://dbiweb.sfgov.org/dbipts/
This link takes you the the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection site where you can see the permit status for a property. You can search by street address or APN number. In addition to showing construction permits, it also shows electrical and plumbing permits (which are not shown on the 3R report) and any building complaints filed against the building/owner. While not a substitute for a formal 3R report, it's an easy way to get an early look at the current permit history of a property. One of the shortcomings of the service is that older building permits are not on line. For example, the 3R report for our current listing on Chenery shows permits starting in 1961; the online system only shows more recent permits.
