3952-3954 Cesar Chavez St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 3952-3954 Cesar Chavez Street in Noe Valley, owned by Louis H & Carol A Felthouse, has experienced several significant maintenance and infrastructure events over the past two decades. Most notably, there has been a recurring sewer system issue in recent months, with multiple sewage backup incidents reported between August and October 2023, all involving a 4-inch sewer vent. The building has undergone several major maintenance projects, including a substantial reroofing in 2019 costing nearly $36,500, and a solar panel installation in 2009 featuring 22 roof-mounted PV modules.

Historical records show termite damage repair work was performed in 2015, and the property has had two roofing projects completed in 2000 and 2019. The structure appears to have been modified with a horizontal addition completed in 1991, and the owners have maintained compliance with various street space permits over the years. More recently, from 2023 to 2025, there have been routine municipal interactions including parking enforcement cases and sidewalk maintenance issues, though these are less critical to the building's core systems.

The building's recent maintenance history shows a particular focus on exterior improvements, with multiple roofing projects and a solar installation upgrading the property's infrastructure. The clustering of sewer-related incidents in 2023-2024 suggests there may be ongoing challenges with the building's plumbing systems that should be monitored. The property has maintained its basic structural and safety requirements through regular permit applications and completion of necessary repairs, including significant work on the entry portico to address wood damage. The owners' records indicate active management of the property's physical systems, though the recent sewer incidents represent the primary maintenance concern requiring attention.
