848-850 Church St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The two-unit residential building at 848-850 Church Street is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by Irene A. Fan. The property has undergone several significant improvements and faced a major incident in its recent history.

In December 2003, the building experienced a fire that resulted in substantial electrical work, including the removal of knob and tube wiring and the installation of new electrical panels and circuits throughout the property. Two notable solar installations were completed in June 2015, featuring 13 roof-mounted solar PV modules each with 315 watts capacity, contributing to the building's sustainability profile. In October 2018, building modifications sparked some regulatory attention, resulting in a Notice of Violation for unauthorized work including a roof deck installation and new rustic wood siding on the garage area.

The violation was resolved within six days, though it was accompanied by multiple permit filings (including a $21,000 garage renovation project) and compliance measures. Recent maintenance history shows active management of the property, with the most notable recent events being infrastructure work in 2018 and the successful solar installations in 2015. The building's location has experienced typical urban issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2022 and 2023, primarily related to street maintenance, cleaning, and a couple of flooding incidents in 2022, though these are external to the building itself. The property appears to be actively maintained, with all recent permits and complaints showing proper resolution through appropriate channels, and no current active violations on record.
