1550-1552 Church St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The property at 1550-1552 Church Street is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1900, containing five residential units plus commercial space, currently owned by the Mark Richard Pastore 2000 Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations over the past two decades, with the most recent substantial work being a $29,900 reroofing project permitted in May 2024. In 2021, the property received window upgrades with the installation of 13 energy-efficient aluminum-clad wood windows on the east and north elevations.

The ground floor commercial space underwent a major renovation in 2001-2002, including the installation of a hood and duct fire suppression system for restaurant equipment, followed by modifications to the bar area in 2016 that included new plumbing, electrical work, and window replacements. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, though there have been some safety-related concerns in recent years, particularly regarding parking and visibility issues. In 2022-2023, multiple complaints were filed regarding structures blocking views and parking visibility at the intersection, though these were subsequently abated. The property has experienced three false fire alarm incidents believed to be caused by system malfunctions, though no injuries or actual fires were recorded.

Routine housing inspections in 1998-2008 show no significant issues, and while there have been recent complaints about illegal parking in the area, these are typical for urban locations. The commercial space, currently operating as UMA Casa, underwent a change of ownership and received necessary approvals for its continued operation as a full-service restaurant in compliance with local zoning regulations. Planning records indicate one disapproved application in 2015 for a commissary/warehouse use, which is not permissible in this location. The building's infrastructure has been maintained through various permits for plumbing and electrical work as needed, suggesting regular upkeep of both residential and commercial spaces.
