1525-1527 Church St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The property at 1525-1527 Church Street, located in San Francisco's Noe Valley neighborhood, is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1907 containing three units, though its legal designation as per a 2012 complaint investigation indicates it should only be a two-family dwelling with three floors of residential occupancy. The building, currently owned by Janie Lee Mcdaniel Revoc Lv, has a concerning history of maintenance and safety issues, with the most significant cluster of violations occurring between 2012-2016. These issues included unauthorized third unit installation, electrical problems, rodent infestations, inadequate heating systems, and safety violations related to smoke detectors and emergency egress.

During this period, multiple violations were documented and subsequently abated by May 2016, including problems with weatherproofing, lead paint hazards, and various interior surface issues. The building has undergone several maintenance updates, including window installations (2013), a complete reroofing (2010), and electrical heating system modifications (2016), but the history suggests recurring maintenance challenges. More recent history shows continuing concerns, with a 2019 complaint about hazardous electrical appliance access and a 2018 report of a sewer plumbing issue affecting multiple units.

While many historical violations have been resolved, the building's permit history shows only basic maintenance work rather than comprehensive renovation or system upgrades. The property has generated multiple 311 calls in recent years primarily related to external issues such as garbage removal, tree maintenance, and parking violations, which, while not directly related to building safety, indicate ongoing property management challenges. The most recent building complaint records available indicate a pattern of maintenance issues and occupant concerns, particularly regarding heating systems and pest control, though many of the most critical violations from 2012-2016 were addressed.
