1704-1706 Church St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The property at 1704-1706 Church Street in Noe Valley is a two-story, multi-family residential building with commercial space, built in 1900, currently owned by Pensco Trust Co Fbo Hong Zh. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent work filed in September 2023 to comply with the accessible business entrance program by adding a power door and regrading the sidewalk.

Substantial renovations were completed in 2014-2015, including a comprehensive second-floor remodel that added new bathrooms, updated the kitchen, and upgraded electrical and plumbing systems, including the installation of a new furnace for the whole house. In 2017, additional electrical work was performed, including the installation of new track lighting, freezer outlets, and a 3-phase circuit for a water heater, along with plumbing improvements for a utility sink. The building has experienced some maintenance and compliance issues, particularly regarding electrical access in March 2017 when there were complaints about a cabinet being built over the electrical panel, though these citations are no longer active.

More recently, there are two notable issues from 2024 that require attention: an open sidewalk defect case regarding a collapsed sidewalk filed in September 2024, and concerns about loose garbage and debris reported in December 2024. The commercial portion of the building has maintained its use as a specialty grocery store (Baron's Meat and Poultry) with appropriate permits, and there have been various service requests and compliance matters related to parking, street cleaning, and environmental health, though most of these have been resolved. The property has a documented history of building and safety improvements, with the most recent accessible entrance modifications indicating ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts by the ownership.
