1995 Chestnut St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 24-unit multi-family residential building at 1995 Chestnut Street in the Marina, owned by 1995 Chestnut Street Associates, has undergone several significant safety upgrades and maintenance projects since its construction in 1963. The building completed its mandatory seismic retrofit program requirements in 2015 (as a Tier 4 soft-story building), and more recently installed new fire safety equipment in 2024, including low-frequency sounders and a new water heater.

The property has experienced recurring issues with its fire alarm system, with violations and complaints related to the system noted in 2016, 2021, and most recently in December 2023, when a violation was issued regarding sleeping area requirements. The building's maintenance history shows regular updating of essential systems, including multiple window replacements (2011-2013), roof repairs (2005), and various electrical system upgrades.

Several significant incidents have occurred over the years, including a fire repair in 2004, asbestos concerns in 2005, and multiple elevator rescues documented by the fire department, though none resulted in civilian injuries. The property has maintained active compliance with safety requirements, as evidenced by the prompt correction of most violations, though there was a notable period of fire safety violations in 2002-2005 that included issues with smoke doors, egress obstructions, and fire safety signage.
