Residents of Presidio Terrace, the swanky oval street fronted by 35 multi-million-dollar mansions, apparently were unaware that their gated-community street hadn't paid its $14-a-year tax bill in decades because a mix-up over where it should be mailed.
As the Chronicle's Matier & Ross wrote Monday, a San Jose couple scooped up the exclusive street — plus its sidewalks, fancy manicured garden islands and palm trees - for $90,000 in an auction sale. Now the couple, Tina Lam and Michael Cheng, are weighing how to capitalize on their investment. Charging the residents to park in front of their own homes would be one possibility.
The apparent bonanza for Lam and Cheng and — and misfortune of some of San Francisco's wealthiest homeowners — got us wondering: What other streets in the city are private and therefore potentially vulnerable to changes of ownership?
It turns out that few, if any, of the private streets share the same pedigree or property values as Presidio Terrace. Many are dead-end alleys, access streets providing parking for apartment complexes, industrial park side streets and nondescript frontage roads.
The owners are often developers, homeowner associations, businesses, or schools and colleges.
A total of 264 "street segments" in the city are tagged private, said Jennifer Blot, deputy director of communications and public affairs for San Francisco Public Works. Some streets may have several private segments while otherwise being public.
