1312 Chestnut St, San Francisco, CA 94109

1312 Chestnut Street, a 7-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1927 in the Marina neighborhood, contains 40 units and is currently owned by Krouzian/noroian LLC. The property has undergone significant modernization over the past decade, with numerous unit renovations completed or in progress. Most recently, Unit #501 received soundproofing improvements in February 2024, and Unit #406 is undergoing substantial remodeling work including kitchen and bathroom upgrades with an estimated cost of $54,000.

The building's maintenance history shows regular updates to individual units, including kitchen and bathroom renovations with new fixtures, cabinets, and appliances, as well as major infrastructure improvements like the water pipe replacement (2014) and hot water boiler installation (2010). Of particular concern is the building's recurring elevator issues, with multiple complaints filed between 2023 and 2025, including active complaints as recent as November 2024. This persistent problem has required several emergency responses for elevator rescues, as documented by fire incident reports.

Additionally, in July 2024, multiple building violations were recorded regarding maintenance issues such as carpet replacement, kitchen countertops, damaged walls and ceiling, cabinet painting, and weather protection, though these were abated by October 2024. The building has a history of fire safety-related incidents and violations, including sprinkler system issues in 2023 and various alarm activations, though no civilian injuries have been reported in these incidents. Recent plumbing work in Unit #406 and electrical updates indicate ongoing infrastructure improvements, while the property's commercial space (formerly a beauty salon) has generated some historical complaints regarding maintenance issues.
