1841 Chestnut St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The three-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building at 1841 Chestnut Street in the Marina district, owned by Rosano Properties LLC, has a notable history of addressing fire safety concerns. Most recently, in late 2024, the building underwent comprehensive fire safety upgrades costing $28,360, including the installation of a new fire alarm control panel, communicator, smoke and heat detectors in common areas, sounders in bedrooms and living areas, and manual pull stations at egress paths.

This followed earlier fire alarm upgrades filed in July 2023 and consistent attention to fire safety systems, with violations related to alarm systems noted and corrected in 2016, 2018, and 2020. The building has experienced multiple routine safety inspections and corrections, with significant work completed in 2019 replacing front windows with Milgard aluminum sliding windows ($46,888), and in 2017 addressing dryer vent issues that had previously caused moisture problems in the garage.

Historical improvements include a reroofing project completed in 2005 ($22,750) and voluntary seismic strengthening completed in 2002 ($17,000). While the building has had several violations over its history, records show they have generally been addressed and abated, with the most recent being a storage/combustibles issue in an exit path cited in 2020. The property has also experienced some non-building related issues as evidenced by two 2023 311 calls regarding street cleaning matters.
