1515-1517 Church St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1515-1517 Church Street in Noe Valley, owned by Cheung Gang Wu, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant modifications and maintenance activities over its history. The most substantial structural work took place in 1990, when permits were issued for foundation strengthening and the installation of a plywood shear wall, as well as work on a retaining wall. Earlier renovations included interior modifications in 1988, consisting of non-bearing wall removal and new flooring and counters installation.

More recently, there has been interest in establishing a small self-service restaurant at this address, with planning records showing both an approved application and a withdrawn variance request in relation to rear yard requirements and off-street parking. The property has experienced recurring issues with street cleaning and waste management in the surrounding area, particularly between 2018 and 2020, with multiple reports of loose garbage requiring attention from the Department of Public Works. These incidents were generally resolved, though one from June 2018 resulted in outreach and enforcement actions.

A construction plate shift was reported and resolved in August 2019, though no specific actions were documented. While these exterior maintenance issues may affect resident quality of life, they primarily relate to public space rather than the building itself. The most recent building permit on record is from 1995 for awning installation, which has since expired.
