1834 Church St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The property at 1834 Church Street is a three-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, featuring two units and classified as a Flats & Duplex building. The building, currently owned by the Wessels Joint Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant improvements over the past four decades.

Most notably, in 2018, electrical work was completed to install a chair lift on the second floor, with an outlet added at the top of the stairs for this purpose. In 2010, window retrofitting work was performed, replacing four windows with energy-efficient units (U-factor .4), though these were not visible from the street. Earlier improvements include a completed kitchen renovation and modifications to porch and back stairs in 1983, and an attempted vertical addition in 1988 (though this permit ultimately expired).

The building has experienced several maintenance and accessibility issues in recent years, with the most pressing being a tree root problem reported in March 2024 that is damaging the sidewalk, which is still under investigation by the Department of Public Works. The property has also faced recurring issues with parking around the building, with three documented incidents between 2015 and 2021 involving vehicles blocking sidewalks or driveways, though these were resolved through proper enforcement channels. A 2015 incident involving a privately maintained tree/shrub/bush blocking the sidewalk was investigated, but no conditions were found that required action, with the situation deemed acceptable after speaking to the owner.
