1509 Church St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The two-story, multi-family residential building at 1509 Church Street in Noe Valley, owned by Fama Properties, has undergone numerous significant improvements and modifications since its construction in 1900. Most recently, in 2023, the building filed for accessible building entrance upgrades, including the addition of an accessible push button, following a technical infeasibility request from 2022.

The property has seen major infrastructure upgrades, including a 200-amp service upgrade completed in 2015, and the installation of a ductless mini-split system in 2022. The building has also undergone several important renovations, including bathroom modifications in 2017 (though the permit expired), a comprehensive bathroom renovation in 2016 for a tattoo shop installation, and structural repairs including dry rot remediation of the back porch and stairs in 2012. Historical issues have generally been addressed promptly; for example, illegal wiring was corrected in 2015, and a 1996 complaint about illegal closet removal and rear stairs repairs was completed.

A concerning 1995 building complaint regarding leaking and mold/mildew in carpets was filed but appears to have been resolved. The property has maintained compliance with various city permits and inspections, including multiple street space permits, though it did experience some minor neighborhood-related incidents recorded via 311 calls, such as waste accumulation and street defects, which were all resolved through appropriate channels. The building's ground floor has transitioned from retail to personal service use, with proper approvals, including the establishment of a tattoo parlour in 2016.
