324-328 Chestnut St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 324-328 Chestnut Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by the Butler Carolyn W 1998 Trust, has a history dating back to its 1908 construction. The most significant upgrade in recent history was the installation of a comprehensive automatic fire sprinkler system throughout the property in 2002, valued at $25,000.

This safety improvement was followed by electrical upgrades, including the installation of a garage door opener and extensive electrical work involving lighting, switches, receptacles, and circuit installations in 2004. The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues, most notably a complaint in 1999 regarding rotting stairs, window air infiltration problems, and insect issues in cupboards, which were resolved within a week.

More recently, in 2004, there was a complaint about an unpermitted rear deck and staircase, though this was promptly addressed. The property has undergone various permit modifications, including a 2004 revision to install a ladder at the parapet, and has required several renewal permits for final inspections between 2002-2004. While there have been two 311 calls in the vicinity in recent years (for garbage/debris in 2024 and a burnt-out streetlight in 2017), these were external to the building itself and not indicative of any building-specific issues.
