1525 Chestnut St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1525 Chestnut Street, owned by Leung Fung-sun & Ivy M K S, was constructed in 1924 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 (Tier 3) which was followed by the installation of a new door from the foyer to the garage. Recent improvements include a substantial 2018 renovation of a 551 square foot first-floor apartment that converted exterior storage into living space and upgraded the heating system, with corresponding plumbing and electrical work completed in 2019.

The building has maintained good overall safety standards, with only routine safety inspections recorded in 1999, 2006, and 2016, and one fire alarm system correction notice in 2010. Multiple smoke detector activations have occurred over the years (most recently in 2018), though all were determined to be unintentional with no injuries reported.

The property's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, including a 2017 reroofing project and various unit-specific improvements such as Unit 4's kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2014. The building has experienced recurring issues with illegal parking and driveway blocking in recent years, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls for service between 2019 and 2024, though these are external to the building's management and maintenance responsibilities.
