985 Church St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The 7-unit apartment building at 985 Church St, owned by Lmp 2012 Irrevocable Trust, has undergone significant improvements since its 1928 construction. Most notably, the building completed a comprehensive reroofing project in September 2024, and achieved full soft-story compliance with a Tier 3 retrofit completed in 2015, which included the installation of grade beams and steel rigid frames for seismic safety. In 2016-2017, substantial safety upgrades were implemented, including the addition of a sprinkler system throughout the building with a monitoring system, and the construction of a new residential unit on the first floor.

The building has also seen significant unit improvements, with multiple apartments receiving modernizations between 2010-2012 including bathroom and kitchen renovations, with Unit 7 receiving a new furnace in 2017. The property has been maintained in accordance with safety requirements, with all building violations from 2001 and 2008 having been promptly addressed and resolved by 2001 and 2010 respectively. Recent maintenance includes regular upkeep such as plumbing improvements (including sump pump installations in 2010) and electrical upgrades, with the most recent building permit for reroofing indicating continued investment in building maintenance.

The building's systems have been modernized over the years, including a 200-amp service panel installation in 2010, steam boiler decommissioning in 2012, and various unit-specific electrical and plumbing improvements. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 have primarily concerned exterior issues such as graffiti and sidewalk maintenance, which appear to have been addressed by city services, but there are no recent concerns regarding the building's interior condition or systems. The property's documented history shows a pattern of proactive maintenance and compliance with safety requirements, with no active violations or complaints on record since 2010. The most recent significant work was the 2024 reroofing project valued at $17,000, indicating ongoing maintenance of the building's infrastructure.
