The Ingleside District Police Station is located at 1 Sgt. John V. Young Lane, within Balboa Park. The station serves an area from Cesar Chavez Street, between Highway 101 and Faxon Avenue, to the San Mateo County line. The facility sits adjacent to Highway 280 and atop a section of the BART tunnel.  
 

The existing station was built in 1910 and is a local historic resource within the Balboa Park Historic District. The station includes a main building and a second building separated by a courtyard. The station’s parking lot surrounds the buildings.
 

Project Update November through December 2023
Our contractor is scheduled to do pavement restoration on Genoa Place (Filbert to Union) sometime between 12/4 and 12/6, weather dependent. This street calls for concrete pavement, which will require about a 7-day cure time once fully placed. During the curing time, Genoa Place will remain closed to vehicular traffic and Varennes Street will be converted into a reversable lane during the weekdays and times as before.  For additional questions and coordination please contact Public Works at 628-271-2245.

PROJECT LOCATIONS

The work to be done under this contract is located at various locations as follows:

The Public Safety Building is officially open and fully operational as of April 2015.
 

The LEED Gold-certified police headquarters, located in Mission Bay, replaced the more than 50-year-old location at the Hall of Justice (850 Bryant Street) with a seismically-resilient building that accommodates the needs of a modern police force. It also replaced the Southern District Police Station. 
 

ESER 2010, a $412.3 million General Obligation bond, was approved by voters in June 2010. The first of a comprehensive bond program, ESER 2010 spearheaded the City's efforts to enhance safety and emergency response by ensuring that police and fire facilities and infrastructure remain uncompromised in the event of an earthquake or other major disaster.
 

What is the Traffic Company and Forensic Services Division facility?

Why do we need to strengthen, improve and rehabilitate district police stations?

Some police stations are nearly a century old – built during a time when police officers patrolled the streets on horseback and with wagons – and many upgrades are more than 25 years old. There is an urgency to make improvements to police facilities to bolster their resiliency in the event of an earthquake. Most don't meet current seismic codes for an essential public safety facility. 

Many of our neighborhood fire stations are in need of seismic upgrades and other health and safety improvements. It is critical that our first responders are housed in healthy, safe, and seismically sound facilities – thus providing essential emergency response services to people who need them during times of crisis.

The Earthquake Safety and Emergency Response Bond Program is seismically retrofitting and making other necessary health and safety improvements to ensure that selected stations are fully functional after a major earthquake.

In June 2014, San Francisco voters approved a $400 million Earthquake Safety and Emergency Response bond – the second phase of the ESER Bond Program.

Why do we need to strengthen post-disaster response facilities?

After a major earthquake or other disaster, San Francisco will rely on select public buildings to deploy aid, provide shelter and coordinate emergency response and recovery. It is essential that these facilities be viable and functional for these disaster-response purposes and remain operational.
