Mission Neighbors Sick of Construction on Mark Zuckerberg's House

In Mission Dolores, there's the park, there's Bi-Rite. And then there's "Fortress Zuckerberg," according to the San Francisco Chronicle, the $10 million mansion of the Facebook founder that's been under construction, continuously, for 17 months.

Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Dr. Priscilla Chan, bought a "fixer-upper" in the neighborhood on 21st Street near Dolores Street about a year and a half ago, the newspaper reported.

And since then, the area has been besieged by near-nonstop construction: Sidewalks have been torn up to install fiber-optic cables, the home itself has been turned inside-out for new amenities, and all of the above has been observed by "round-the-clock security," the newspaper reported.

Over $1.5 million has been sunk into building new bathrooms, a wine room, a "wet bar," and a "media room," the newspaper reported. There's also a garage with a "turntable pad," all built by "40 to 50 workers on the job daily" since April 2013.

That's a lot of work.

The Department of Building Inspection has a record of one formal complaint filed last year. The district supervisor confirmed he has received complaints, but points out that complaints related to home improvement are common and construction is booming all over Noe Valley.

No word as to when Mr. Mark and Dr. Chan will declare the work done and move into the home.
