1220-1230 Chestnut St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-story, seven-unit multi-family residential building at 1220-1230 Chestnut Street in Russian Hill, constructed in 1916 and currently owned by the Andrei Urazov Living Trust, has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade to enhance safety and modernize the property. Most notably, in 2017, the building completed mandatory seismic safety improvements with a soft-story retrofit that included new plywood shear walls and foundations, alongside the installation of 18 new sprinklers on the ground floor. The property has also seen major renovation work in recent months, with a $60,000 remodeling project completed in October 2023 that involved interior layout alterations, bathroom additions, and kitchen modifications, followed by comprehensive plumbing and electrical upgrades.

The ground floor unit was successfully legalized in 2016-2017, including the addition of new bathrooms and complete electrical system modernization. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including repairs following a 2016 incident where a vehicle damaged approximately 10 square feet of brickwork, which was promptly addressed within six months. Routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services have been conducted over the years, with most issues being minor and quickly resolved.

Recent complaints from 2024 primarily relate to street-level issues such as parking concerns and waste removal, which are external to the building itself. The property's fire safety systems have been properly maintained, with a recent fire code violation issued in September 2023 being the most current notable safety-related event, though details on the resolution of this violation were not included in the records. The building's records indicate regular updates to units, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, and a proactive approach to maintaining structural integrity and safety systems.
