1708 Church St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The two-unit, two-story building at 1708 Church Street in Noe Valley, owned by 1708 Church Street LLC, has a complex history dating back to its 1900 construction. The property primarily serves as multi-family residential and commercial space, with significant commercial activity documented between 1998 and 2008 when it operated as a restaurant/cafe. During this period, multiple improvements were made, including the installation of fire suppression systems (both in 1998 and 2008), electrical and plumbing upgrades, and the construction of a cafe space.

The building underwent reroofing in 2015, representing the most recent major structural work. Recent maintenance issues have emerged, with a collapsed sidewalk reported in September 2024 being the most significant current concern. The property experienced a period of fire safety compliance issues in 2022, with missing/expired fire extinguishers leading to complaints, though these were ultimately deemed to have "No Merit" upon investigation.

Historical records show some construction work was performed without proper permits in 2007, resulting in a violation. The building's location has been the subject of multiple 311 complaints in recent years, primarily related to street cleaning and maintenance, as well as three reports of damaged parking meters between 2017-2018. While most of these issues were resolved, they indicate ongoing concerns about building surroundings and infrastructure. The property's historical documentation shows careful work to maintain safety systems, including regular updates to fire suppression equipment, though there have been periodic lapses in compliance that required attention.
