780 Chestnut St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building at 780 Chestnut Street in Russian Hill has undergone several significant maintenance and safety upgrades since its construction in 1930. Most recently, in 2022, the building received electrical system improvements including the installation of low-frequency horns to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, along with voluntary system upgrades costing $22,600.

The building's mechanical systems have been maintained with a new steam boiler installation in 2016, though there have been multiple instances of boiler permit renewal requirements between 2015 and 2021. A notable cluster of fire safety violations was recorded in December 2015, including issues with fire extinguishers, fire proofing, fire escape maintenance, and the need for carbon monoxide detectors, though all these violations were abated by December 28, 2015. Historical maintenance records show roofing work was completed in 2011 at a cost of $16,000, and a drying platform was replaced in 1992.

The building has undergone regular routine inspections over the years, with the most recent documented inspections focusing on various code compliance matters. The property has maintained active response to municipal service requests, with several cases resolved through appropriate channels, including graffiti removal, sign repairs, and tree maintenance, though these external issues do not directly impact the building's structural integrity or resident safety. Recent 311 calls from the past five years primarily relate to street-level concerns and municipal services rather than building-specific issues, suggesting ongoing maintenance of the property's systems and compliance requirements.
