257-261 Church St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The 257-261 Church St property in Mission Dolores is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1905, currently owned by Middle Alexis D & Paul J. The building has undergone several significant renovation projects, with the most recent work occurring between 2023-2024 involving substantial interior updates including kitchen and bathroom relocations, office construction, and complete electrical rewiring throughout the unit. This latest renovation, valued at over $82,000, also included plumbing updates with new fixtures and systems, though several associated permits from 2023 have since expired and been replaced by new permits in 2024 for final inspections.

Historically, the building has experienced various maintenance and repair issues that were addressed in a timely manner. In 2005, multiple violations were documented including problems with doors, floors, ceilings, and plumbing in unit #259, which were all abated by August 2005. More recent concerns were noted in 2023 regarding scaffolding and pigeon roosting issues, which were resolved within a month.

The property has maintained compliance with building codes since then, with no active violations on record. Previous improvements include a significant electrical upgrade in 2007 with a 200-amp panel installation, and various unit improvements including kitchen and bathroom remodels, though some older permits from 2006 related to these works are listed as complete. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with particular attention to electrical, plumbing, and interior improvements, though there have been recurring issues with exterior debris as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024.
