1551-1555 Church St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The 1551-1555 Church Street property, located in Noe Valley, is a three-story mixed-use building constructed in 1908, containing 4 residential units and ground-floor commercial space. The building has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the years, including a major 1993 renovation addressing various issues such as dry rot in rear stairs, floor joist replacements, wood floor-to-concrete slab conversion, and kitchen renovations.

More recent maintenance work includes stair replacement and street space repairs in 2005, though some permits from that period were cancelled. Two notable patterns of concern emerge from the records: between 2018-2020, there were multiple complaints about unpermitted construction work and safety hazards related to Martha & Bros. cafe, including sidewalk work with power tools and alleged lack of proper permits, though these complaints have since been marked as not active.

Additionally, there were three building code violations in 2000-2008 related to gas utility safety requirements and an unsafe exterior utility ladder, all of which were subsequently resolved. The property is currently facing some infrastructure challenges as evidenced by recent 311 calls in 2024 regarding sidewalk defects and tripping hazards from uncovered wires or cables, with at least one of these cases marked as open/accepted. While some historical issues have been addressed, the recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance and safety concerns that may warrant attention.
