Dispatch your non-urgent building request to our network of preferred vendors. The best way to request non-emergency service from CitiScape is to simply send an email to ServiceRequest@citiscapesf.com. This automatically starts a new customer service ticket, which guarantees that your request will be handled promptly. Once sent, you can then log into our Online Ticket Tracker System (called Gnosio, pronounced "GUH-know-see-oh") and view the status of your request at any time.
 
And, we even have a Notary Public on staff. Contact Su Kemp to have your important documents notarized.

Now you know, and you know what they say, knowing is half the battle!

The View From CitiScape: Revitalizing Hunter's Point Shipyard

In the CCLR TV video "Revitalizing Hunter's Point Shipyard" members of the Bayview Neighborhood of southeastern San Francisco share the new hope and opportunity that the Hunter's Point mixed-use redevelopment will bring. 

This significant project promises economic vitality, job creation, affordable housing, and recreation opportunities for their community. By restoring the underutilized and blighted site to productive use, the Shipyard will be revitalized to the economic driver it was before closing in 1974.

Watch this video to find out more about the site's history, current state, and the vision for its future.

Time to Spring Forward!

Time to Spring Forward!

Remember to turn your clocks forward 1 hour on Sunday, March 14th @ 2am!

This is also a good time to check your smoke detectors and replace the batteries. A working smoke detector more than doubles a person's chances of surviving a home fire. More than 90 percent of homes in the United States have smoke detectors, but one-third are estimated to have dead or missing batteries. Play it safe and take a few minutes to check, repair, and replace the smoke detectors in your home and workplace. Remember – smoke detectors save lives!

*If you notice that the timers for the exterior lights, sprinkler systems, etc. at your CitiScape-managed property need to be adjusted, please give us a call or send us Service Request!

A "Fresh" Start in the Bayview

Great news for property owners and prospective buyers in the Bayview. Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market, the self described "7-Eleven meets Whole Foods" supermarket chain, is set to open a store here in the Bayview on 3rd Street at Carroll. This new chain spent a good deal of time considering a site in the Tenderloin, but ultimately lost interest due to crime. The Tenderloin's loss is the Bayview's gain!

This is yet another indication of our fine city expanding new development, new business and new interest further to the south and east. Another reason to check out the Bayview, where single family homes in the $500K and $600K range are consistently available.
