1485-1487 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA 94110

This three-unit multi-family residential building at 1485-1487 Valencia Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Iglesia Del Dios Vivo Colum, has undergone significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges since its construction in 1909. The property experienced unauthorized construction work in 2012, leading to multiple Notices of Violation and abatement proceedings, with work eventually completed through several permits between 2012-2021, including major kitchen and bathroom renovations, electrical upgrades, and plumbing improvements.

Recent issues have centered around HVAC system problems, with complaints in 2023 about a roof-mounted unit causing noise and vibration near a bedroom window, though these cases are no longer active. The building's fire safety systems have shown some irregularities, with multiple smoke detector activations and alarm system malfunctions recorded between 2019 and 2020, albeit without any injuries or actual fires reported. The property has received regular maintenance and upgrades, including a comprehensive HVAC system installation in 2020 ($9,500), electrical system updates, and new plumbing fixtures throughout.

The most recent building permit activity includes the 2021 renewal for plumbing work completed in 2019, which included installation of new plumbing fixtures in two bathrooms and a kitchen. While the building has experienced periodic issues with garbage and debris around the property, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024, these were primarily related to street conditions rather than building maintenance. The property's historical permit record shows a pattern of proactive maintenance and upgrades, with most major works being properly permitted and completed, though some permits were marked as expired and required renewal or re-application.
