In 1968 the Department of City Planning and the Department of Public Works published a feasibility study for Federally Assisted Code Enforcement in the Alamo Square neighborhood, and recommended part of it for the program. A companion study that year recorded why owners could not borrow to comply: one savings and loan had "red-lined" the neighborhood as a high-risk area, and a fully amortized loan was offered elsewhere at 10 percent plus 10 points. Public Works' annual reports then track the program's execution — by 30 June 1973 all 1,615 structures across the three active areas had been inspected, 737 of them certified in compliance and 347 in litigation, and 89 street trees had been planted in Alamo Square using neighborhood youths. The square itself surfaces later, when the Open Space and Park Renovation Citizens Advisory Committee minutes record a request for $103,000 to renovate it. Construction permits on the parcel are modest: a $178,000 public toilet building completed in 2016, and a $180,000 accessibility alteration filed in 2014 but withdrawn.

No city spending is recorded against this place by name. San Francisco publishes contracts, bond items and vendor payments at project level, and none of them names this site — so there is no figure to show, rather than a figure of zero.
Run by the Recreation & Parks, whose whole-department budget is $250.4M across 2,161 staff (FY2025) — citywide, not this place’s own. The City does not publish a running cost per building.
