What a adu / accessory dwelling project looks like here

Visitacion Valley anchors SF's southeastern edge — the 1945-1970 post-war stock plus active Schlage Lock master-planned redevelopment gives the neighborhood a transitional new-vs-old mix.

Because shoreline parcels fall in the Liquefaction Zone, foundation engineering on substantial alterations or additions requires liquefaction-aware geotech.

Among SF's most affordable single-family corridors — drives entry-level renovation demand.

SB 9 + SB 1069 + AB 2299 stack permits ADU + JADU by-right on most SF parcels — SFDBI residential permit + SF Planning §311 neighbor notification on rear additions. In Visitacion Valley specifically, post-war ranch + marina-style bungalow (1945-1970) stock means adu / accessory dwelling scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's San Francisco scoping flow factors schlage lock master-planned redevelopment (sunnydale) and liquefaction zone on shoreline parcels into the estimate before a contractor is involved.

Origin

Who is Baily?

Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.

He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.

That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.

Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
