1168 Church St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The multi-family residential building at 1168 Church Street in Noe Valley, owned by Mario L. Gentile, is a 2-story, 4-unit apartment building constructed in 1900. The building's maintenance history shows several significant repairs and improvements over the past four decades, including complete roof replacement in 1989, stair repairs in 1986, construction of firewalls in 1985, underpinning work in 1998, and replacement of weather-damaged siding in 2017.

The property experienced several inspections and violations, with the most concerning problems occurring between 1999-2008, including issues with window security, door integrity, and fire safety compliance. A notable lead hazard warning was issued in 2017 regarding exterior chipping paint on the south side of the building, which was eventually abated in March 2018, along with violations related to weather-proofing and exterior painting. Recent activities at the building have been primarily focused on graffiti removal, with multiple incidents reported throughout 2024, including cases in August, October, December, and most recently in January 2025, all of which were resolved through the City's graffiti abatement program.

A fire safety complaint regarding blocked exits was filed in 2015 but was determined to have no merit. The building's most recent major repair was the 2017 siding replacement project, which cost $1,500, while previous significant upgrades included replacement of rear stairs, deck, and landings in 2005 ($17,000), indicating ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the property's structural integrity and safety features. The building's records also show regular routine apartment inspections, though some earlier complaints from the late 1990s regarding security and window issues suggest there were historical maintenance concerns that have since been addressed.
