1534 Chestnut St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The two-unit residential building at 1534 Chestnut Street in the Marina neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1923, currently owned by the David & Marlene Holles Rev Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent major work including the installation of two new forced air gas furnaces and air ducts in March 2020, and substantial electrical upgrades in August 2019 that included a unit remodel of kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, and living room, along with a main panel upgrade from 100 to 200 amps and installation of multiple safety features including smoke detectors.

The building's structural integrity has been reinforced in the past, notably in 1989 when foundation bolts and plywood shear walls were installed, though these improvements were completed several decades ago. The property has experienced recurring issues with illegal parking in recent years, with three documented instances of driveway blockages in 2023 alone, resulting in at least two citations being issued.

Additionally, there was an unusual pattern of tree damage incidents in 2022, with multiple reports of vandalism affecting trees near the property (between April and September 2022), though most of these cases were marked as duplicates and generally resolved through the Department of Public Works. The building's recent history shows regular maintenance and updating of essential systems, particularly in the areas of HVAC and electrical infrastructure, with the most recent building permits from 2009-2010 relating to street space and sidewalk repairs, which suggests ongoing attention to both the building's interior systems and its immediate surroundings.
