Wells Fargo Bank Heist Takes ATMs Machines upgraded and moved inside — “a lose-lose situation”

By Chris Barnett

he biggest neighborhood bank heist in decades has left many customers feeling shortchanged. TTh ree automatic teller machines outside the Wells Fargo Bank at Fillmore and California recently vanished, depriving customers of the convenience of withdraw- ing cash and doing limited banking when the branch was closed. Now Wells Fargo customers or anyone with a debit card must observe banker’s hours — 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday — to use the two ATM machines in the bank’s lobby. No one in the Wells Fargo hierarchy was willing to talk about the decision to remove the machines, which have been there for decades. But after repeated calls, Wells Fargo vice president for corporate communications Ruben Pulido issued a statement. “Th e ATMs were older models that needed to be replaced before they no longer met our inter- nal security requirements,” the statement said. “When we replace any ATMs, we are required to bring them up to code to meet the new Americans With No more: ATMs at Disabilities Act Fillmore and California. standards.” Pulido’s statement added: “We spent months trying to fi gure out a solution, but unfortunately we were unable to determine a viable solution. Our only choice was to remove the ATMs, place lobby units inside the store to be utilized during business hours and begin a search for an off site ATM location nearby, which is currently underway.” Th e one person most inconvenienced by the yanking of the ATMs may well be Joseph Anonuevo, manager of the Fillmore Art out of Africa branch.

Digby’s Castle Arts & Crafts metalsmith created a compound on Vallejo Street

By Bridget Maley

ome buildings stop you in your tracks. Th at’s what happened to me the fi rst time I walked by 1729 Vallejo, between Franklin and SGough Streets. Often referred to as Digby’s Castle, the complex of buildings evokes something out of Grimm’s Fairy Tales. Built into the hill, with a stone retaining wall forming a barrier to the private space beyond, it is a collection of small buildings, some constructed of a deep terra cotta-colored hollow clay tile. Set in a garden, the buildings dot the landscape, creating interlocking courtyards. While the buildings are small in scale, they still convey the feeling of a medieval fortress or castle.

Buyer confi dence now driving high-end sales A trio of recent big-ticket Pacifi c Heights home sales indicates that buyer confi dence has fully returned to the high end of San Francisco’s real estate market. The most notable single-family home transaction is 2701 BROADWAY (above center), which sold in mid-May for $31 million. The stately 16,000-square- foot mansion is located across from the most coveted strip of homes in San Francisco known as the Gold Coast — the north side of Broadway from Divisadero to Lyon. The recently renovated seven-bedroom property boasts commanding views of the bay and city skyline from its deck, plus its own indoor basketball court. Two other eight-digit home sales in the neighborhood occurred in late April: 2342 WASHINGTON STREET went for $11.5 million and 2939 VALLEJO STREET for $12 million. Both sold in less than two weeks, with the Washington Street home selling in just six days. Both also went for about $500,000 more than the original listing price. From January 1 to May 15 of this year, there have been fi ve single-family home sales of $10 million or more on the multiple listing service in San Francisco, compared with two during the same time last year.
