1851-1853 Church St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1851-1853 Church Street in Glen Park, built in 1916 and currently owned by the Ariano Lembi Trust, has undergone several significant improvements in recent years. Most notably, the property is currently undergoing an installation of a comprehensive solar and energy storage system, including 15 roof-mounted solar PV modules and a Tesla Powerwall+ battery system, with associated permits completed as of May 2024.

This follows several substantial renovations since 2012, including a kitchen remodel (2013) with window and door replacements, bathroom renovations on both levels (2012-2014), and a complete reroofing (2016). The building has also seen significant infrastructure upgrades, including gas line reroutes, plumbing improvements, and electrical system enhancements. The property has experienced recurring sewer issues, with documented sewage backup incidents occurring in November 2023, March 2021, January 2018, November 2018, and November 2016, all involving 4-inch vent issues and requiring PUC Sewer Operations intervention.

The building's exterior and surrounding infrastructure have received attention, with a tree maintenance request (August 2023), a sidewalk defect report (November 2018), and multiple parking enforcement cases being recorded. While the sewer issues represent the most consistent maintenance challenge for the property, recent improvements suggest ongoing investment in building systems and infrastructure. The most recent building improvements focus on sustainability and modernization, with the solar and battery system representing the latest in a series of infrastructure upgrades that have occurred over the past decade.
