AI summary

The property at 1461-1465 Church Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building with commercial space, constructed in 1905 and currently owned by Hung Po-land. The building has undergone significant renovations and maintenance work over the past several years, with the most recent being a $15,000 kitchen cabinet and countertop replacement in August 2023, along with associated plumbing work. However, there have been multiple concerning issues recently, particularly in late 2023, involving unpermitted electrical work, including unauthorized kitchen and bathroom remodeling, installation of new outlets and switches, and wiring work. These unpermitted modifications appear to have continued despite previous electrical permit cancellations. The building has a history of plumbing issues, including a severe sewage backup incident in 2006 that affected both this property and the neighboring building (1467 Church Street), though more recent plumbing work has included proper replacements of water lines and fixtures.

The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including reroofing in 2023 and planned deck construction in 2022. There have been several instances of building complaints and violations related to unpermitted work and change of use issues, particularly during the period when the former dry cleaning business was transitioning out in 2019. These complaints often focused on concerns about chemical handling and improper permit procedures. The building's maintenance record includes various infrastructure improvements, such as electrical upgrades in 2020, bathroom renovations in 2021, and a comprehensive interior refresh in 2019 that included multiple system upgrades. While there have been several neighborhood complaints regarding parking and street maintenance issues near the property, these are typical urban neighborhood concerns and not directly related to the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 1461-1465 Church St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.
