1504-1506 Church St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The Hoover Family Revocable Trust owns this two-unit, two-story flat and store building located at 1504-1506 Church Street in Noe Valley, which was constructed in 1900. The property has undergone significant recent improvements, including a major tenant improvement project in 2023 converting a ground-floor space into a gelato ice cream shop, which included non-structural walls, equipment, and finishes, along with new ADA accessible restrooms at a cost of $100,524. This project was accompanied by comprehensive plumbing work (including installation of multiple sinks and floor drains, new gas main, and flue modifications) and electrical updates completed in late 2023.

The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the past decade, with the most recent concerns centered around flue installations – initially flagged in December 2023 as a high hazard violation and subsequently addressed through permits completed in early 2024. Other notable historical issues include electrical work done without proper permits in 2015, and various construction compliance matters, with the most recent building complaint filed in October 2023 regarding unauthorized bathroom demolition work. The property has maintained active compliance with required permits and has addressed most building violations in a timely manner.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including recent roof work completed in late 2023 at a cost of $12,500, with an associated sheathing replacement. Historical issues have included a 2019 sewer backup, graffiti removal in 2020, and various infrastructure maintenance matters documented through 311 calls, all of which have been resolved. The property's use has transitioned from retail to a "Limited Restaurant" as per planning approvals, with no approved changes to the storefront. The building continues to have an active status with the Planning Department due to its legal non-conforming off-street parking status, and recent maintenance and improvement work suggests ongoing commitment to property upkeep, despite the occasional need for intervention from city departments to address compliance issues.
