SFPD Raids Squatter House in Sea Cliff, Removes Group of People

San Francisco police executed a search warrant Friday morning at the now notorious Sea Cliff manse that has served as a cushy squatters' haven for at least the past year. The home at 250 32nd Avenue in SF's tony Sea Cliff neighborhood, which was abandoned by its owners in recent years and is now in the hands of the city, was emptied of its remaining occupants Friday morning. As the Chronicle reports , SFPD officers executed a search warrant at the property around 7:30 am Friday, breaking down the front door and removing evidence, in addition to removing a group of people who were staying there. The four-bedroom home, estimated to be worth around $4.4 million, was the subject of some sort of attempted deed forgery scheme in the last year and a half — ABC 7 reported in September that at least seven dueling deeds had been recorded by the city, four of them between July and September. As SFist reported last month , the original owners, a woman named Wei Wang and her husband, owe around $340,000 in back taxes on the property to the city. The couple owned the home and lived in it from around 2013 to around 2020, when they seem to have left the country — neighbors told ABC 7 that it had not been owner-occupied since 2020. Then, sometime in the last year or two, squatters allegedly broke down the front door and moved in, with neighbors reporting suspicious activity at all hours, people with luggage moving in and out, and criminal activity including a van that was caught on video pulling up and two suspects stealing a Vespa parked on the street. Multiple neighbors have complained to the city about the sketchy activity, and about the fact that they've had to pay for their own private security due to the recent lack of safety in the neighborhood. Two people, Brandon Aadee and Diana Peng, have now been sued by the city attorney for filing fraudulent deeds, the first of which Aadee allegedly filed in July 2025 claiming ownership of 250 32nd Avenue. Notary stamps and signatures on the deeds were reportedly faked, with several notaries confirming to the city that their signatures were forged. An ABC 7 reporter tried to confront a woman with two dogs, possibly Peng, who was parked in front of the house as she tried to drive off, asking about names that were on the title for the property. The woman claimed to be the property owner, but refused to comment further. One of the squatters allegedly contacted a real estate agent last year in an attempt to sell the property well below market, listing it at $2.9 million. As City Attorney David Chiu said last month, "Defendants are effectively trying to steal a house and sell it to make millions in profit." The SFPD has not yet confirmed how many people were taken into custody Friday, or what the potential charges may be. The SF Board of Supervisors voted last month to auction the house off and use the proceeds to cover the tax bill. Depending on what's happened to the inside in the last year or two, it may not be worth the full $4.4 million anymore, but we'll see.
