715-725 Chestnut St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 6-unit multi-family residential building at 715-725 Chestnut Street in Russian Hill, owned by Survivors Trust The, was constructed in 1968 and consists of 2 stories with retail space. The property has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most recent significant work occurring in December 2016, which included plumbing updates (installation of 3 new toilets and a sink) and interior improvements such as painting and flooring work costing approximately $4,500. In 2005, the building addressed wood stair repairs following a notice of violation, demonstrating compliance with safety requirements.

Historical improvements include the installation of aluminum windows in 1988. The property experienced multiple violations and complaints, most notably in December 2015 during a routine safety inspection which identified several issues including the need for carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguisher servicing, plumbing code compliance, and stair repairs. These violations were documented but have since been marked as not active. A lead paint disturbance incident was reported in 2014, and earlier routine inspections in 1997 noted dry rot issues in the back porch, all of which were subsequently addressed.

More recent concerns include a blocked exit issue reported in October 2021, which was corrected within three weeks, and various sidewalk cleanliness issues based on 311 calls throughout 2024, primarily related to garbage and debris removal. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to building codes and safety requirements, though there have been some notable lapses in safety equipment maintenance and documentation. The property has not experienced any major fire incidents with civilian injuries, though there was one documented system malfunction. Recent exterior cleanliness issues seem to be more related to the surrounding area than the building itself, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls for street cleaning services in 2024.
