619-621 Chestnut St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 619-621 Chestnut Street property is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1907 in San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood, currently owned by the Ng Kee Fung Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several maintenance and compliance issues over the past two decades. Most notably, in June 2023, there were reports of severely peeling paint on the rear of the building, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges. A series of building violations were documented in 2005 requiring attention to safety features such as smoke detectors, staircase repairs, and gas utility shutoff tools, though these were ultimately abated by July 2005.

The property has consistent records of routine inspections, with the most recent inspection from December 2015 still listed as active. The building's fire safety systems have required attention, with two complaints about alarm systems (in 2014 and 2021) that were promptly corrected. While there have been several fire department responses to the building, including false alarms and smoke detector activations, none resulted in injuries or significant damage. The property has faced challenges with exterior maintenance, particularly regarding paint condition, with violations noted in 2009 regarding peeling paint and potential lead hazards.

Recent 311 calls from 2024 indicate issues with street cleaning in the vicinity, though these are external to the building itself and primarily relate to public space maintenance. The building's historical records show various permit applications and modifications, including basement work and tool shed demolitions in the 1980s, though some permits required reapplication or were marked as expired. The property has undergone routine housing inspections over the years, with violations generally being addressed within reasonable timeframes. The presence of multiple garbage and debris reports near the property between 2023 and 2024 suggests ongoing challenges with exterior maintenance, though most reports relate to street conditions rather than the building itself.
