735-737 Chestnut St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 735-737 Chestnut Street property is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1928, currently managed by 735 Chestnut Street LLC. The building consists of three residential units and has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the past few years. Most recently, in November 2023, the building's legal use and occupancy as a three-story structure with three units was formally documented by the Department of Building Inspection. Prior to that, in September 2023, substantial maintenance work was done including repairs to floor drains and toilets, electrical rewiring, and door replacements. The building has also seen significant improvements in 2022, including the installation of two photovoltaic systems (one with 20 modules and another with 24 modules), the installation of a new Navien boiler, and general roof replacement work.

The property has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues that warrant attention. A series of complaints were filed in 2023 and 2022 regarding construction work, including allegations of unpermitted work and dust control violations associated with unit 735A, though these complaints were marked as not active. In 2021, a complaint was filed regarding unauthorized sewer lateral work that allegedly created hazardous conditions. The building's plumbing infrastructure has received attention, with completed sewer repairs in 2021 and recent plumbing work in October 2023 focused on bathroom facilities. Historical records show past issues with dry rot in 2010, termite problems in 2008, and an alarm system malfunction in 2015, though these matters were all addressed and resolved.

The property has had minimal recent fire safety incidents, with only one recorded alarm system malfunction in 2015 that was promptly corrected. Recent maintenance efforts have included both routine upkeep and improvements to the building's systems, suggesting active management of the property. While there have been some neighborhood concerns about construction activities and unit modifications, most recent building permits indicate that work is being properly documented and permitted. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and improvements, including upgrades to electrical systems, plumbing infrastructure, and energy efficiency measures. The recent installation of photovoltaic systems and a new boiler indicates investment in sustainable and efficient building systems. The three residential units are properly acknowledged in current building records, and recent permits suggest active management of the property.
