1325-1327 Church St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 1325-1327 Church Street, owned by Monika & Anil Kavipurapu Re, is a 2-story TIC building constructed in 1953, currently undergoing significant renovations and improvements. In recent months, the property has seen substantial maintenance work, including the replacement of lightwell siding with James Hardie cement siding (2025), kitchen renovations (2025), and repairs to address dry rot issues on both the southern wall and in exterior lightwell/backyard areas (2023-2024).

A completed reroofing project (2024) and fire escape stairs repair work, as specified by a Board of Appeals decision, have also been undertaken. The building's systems are being upgraded, with the installation of new electrical features including recessed lighting and smoke detectors (2024), kitchen and plumbing improvements (2025), and the attempted installation of a hybrid electric water heater (2023). Historically, the building has experienced typical urban residential issues such as illegal postings on street furniture, periodic parking enforcement needs, and service-related noise (garbage collection).

A significant development regarding the building's unit status occurred in 2018, when a 3-R report recognized two units (1325 and 1327) and a housekeeping unit, with a proposal to legalize the housekeeping unit and officially increase the unit count to three. The property has maintained active compliance with building maintenance requirements, as evidenced by the regular issuance and completion of necessary permits for various repairs and improvements. While there have been several 311 calls related to the property and its surroundings, these primarily concern street-level issues rather than building-specific problems.
