315-319 Church St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 315-319 Church Street in Mission Dolores, owned by the John Garcia Jr Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements since its construction in 1906. Most notably, there is currently ongoing work to replace knob and tube wiring, with three electrical permits issued between October and November 2024 for this upgrade.

Recent improvements include a complete reroofing project in 2022 costing $9,700, and a house trap replacement in 2013, demonstrating the owner's commitment to maintaining the building's infrastructure. The building has a history of addressing safety concerns, particularly in 2002 when multiple violations were recorded regarding stairs, fire proofing, and security requirements, all of which were promptly abated by October 2002. Historical improvements include the installation of 30 new windows in 2003 ($15,000), though some work related to stairs and landing repairs in 2002 was initially cancelled before being reissued.

The property has experienced some maintenance challenges in recent years, with multiple reports of graffiti between 2022 and 2023, particularly during the COVID pandemic when enforcement of graffiti removal was suspended. There have also been several 311 calls related to street cleaning and parking issues in the vicinity of the building, with the most recent occurring in early 2025. A routine housing inspection was conducted in 2011, and a building complaint regarding unauthorized interior construction was filed and resolved in 2003, showing that while the building has had various issues over the years, most have been addressed through proper channels.
