233-241 Church St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The three-story multi-family residential building at 233-241 Church Street, owned by Fel Properties B14 De LLC, was constructed in 1925 and contains 10 units. The property has undergone several significant modifications and repairs in recent years, including a 2023 recommencement of previously approved work valued at $45,000, and a 2022 fire alarm system upgrade to meet current code requirements at a cost of $37,650. Unit renovations have been completed in both 2018 and 2021, involving substantial changes to kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry facilities.

The building is currently noted as "Non-Compliant" under the SF Mandatory Soft-Story Retrofit Program (Tier 4) and has an active complaint from December 2022 regarding this matter. Historical records show multiple building system upgrades and repairs between 2016-2018, including a mandatory soft-story retrofit, fire system installation, and electrical improvements. The property has experienced recurring plumbing issues, particularly sewage problems in lightwells during 2004-2005, which were subsequently addressed. Numerous violations were recorded between 2001-2004 concerning lead paint hazards, fire escape maintenance, window repairs, and mold issues, all of which were abated by 2003.

The building has an active planning record regarding its restaurant component and alcohol licensing, with various conditional use applications processed between 2008-2018. Recent activity (2023-2024) has primarily involved external maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding graffiti, debris, and water leaks. A substantial portion of the building's history shows consistent attention to safety systems, with regular updates to fire alarms, electrical systems, and plumbing infrastructure, though some historical fire safety violations were recorded in 2006-2010. The property is subject to ongoing monitoring due to its non-compliant soft-story status, and recent building permits suggest continued investment in property improvements, particularly regarding safety systems and unit modernization.
