1238 Church St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 1238 Church Street in Noe Valley is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by the Anna M Rossi Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the years, including a roof deck addition in 2001 that prompted a building code complaint due to lack of required egress, though this was ultimately resolved by January 2002. Major improvements included a vertical addition completed in 1998, deck and stairs additions in 1985, and most recently, a sewer and house trap replacement completed in December 2020.

The building experienced some infrastructure issues, with a sewage backup incident reported in February 2024 and a tree maintenance request logged in August 2023 that remains open. The property has had its share of maintenance and improvement work, including electrical work in 1986, interior renovations in 1989, and various plumbing modifications. A notable tenant buyout occurred in January 2020, involving three tenants and a payout of $39,000.

Recent activity around the property has primarily involved parking-related issues, with multiple citations for driveway blocking in January 2025, and there is currently an open noise complaint from October 2024. The building's fire safety record shows one electrical equipment issue reported with no civilian injuries. While the property has a history of various permits and inspections, most recent concerns appear to be related to external maintenance and neighborhood issues rather than structural or safety problems within the building itself.
