287-291 Church St, San Francisco, CA 94114

287-291 Church Street, a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1905, is currently owned by Gold Strike Realty LLC and contains three units. The property has undergone significant recent renovations, with major work completed or underway in multiple units between 2021 and 2023, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, bedroom additions, and electrical rewiring.

The most recent permit, issued in October 2023, involves extensive work on the 4th floor including kitchen and bathroom remodeling, living room relocation, and the addition of new bedroom and bathroom facilities, with associated electrical work also in progress. The building underwent roof repairs in 2021, including replacement of plywood sections and complete reroofing work. Of particular note is an active building complaint (filed in October 2022) regarding unauthorized modifications to the kitchen and dining room opening and window installations beyond the scope of permitted work, which has resulted in violations under SFBC 106A.4.7 and SFBC 110A.

The building has experienced recurring issues with garbage accumulation and debris on the property, with multiple reports between October and December 2024 about overflowing city garbage cans, though these are external to the building itself. A significant infrastructure incident occurred in December 2019 when a broken drainage pipe caused flooding through a common ventilation shaft, though this complaint is no longer active. The property has received routine apartment inspections in 2000, 2008, and 2010, and underwent termite repair in 1996, but no other significant historical issues are on record.
