233-235 Chestnut St, San Francisco, CA 94133

Located in Telegraph Hill, 233-235 Chestnut Street is a 4-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1940 and currently owned by the Brooks Thompson Family Living Trust. The property has undergone significant improvements in recent years, with major renovation projects completed in 2015-2018 including comprehensive apartment remodels (Units 1, 2, and 3) featuring new electrical and plumbing systems, hydronic heating installations, washer/dryer additions, insulation upgrades, and various interior finishes.

The building underwent reroofing in 2015 and received a complete electrical rewiring and new sub-panel installation. Notably, there was one routine housing inspection in 2015 that resulted in multiple fire safety violations (e.g., egress obstruction, fire extinguisher issues, sprinkler requirements), though all violations were abated by February 2016. The property has experienced consistent tenant turnover, with two tenant buyouts recorded in 2015 (for $20,000) and 2016 (for $22,212.80).

Recent building activity has primarily involved routine matters such as parking enforcement, with numerous citations issued between 2023-2024 for vehicles blocking driveways, though these are external to the building itself. Two planning records are of interest: one related to a project review for potential future expansion and unit merging (status: Closed - Informational), and another regarding window replacement to match existing wood sash windows (status: Closed). The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, with no active building violations or major safety concerns currently on record.
