1535 Chestnut St, San Francisco, CA 94123

Located in San Francisco's Marina neighborhood, 1535 Chestnut St is a three-story, 18-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1973 and currently owned by the Leonore Oneill Family Partnership. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent being a $65,900 fire alarm system upgrade in July 2023 to comply with SFFC requirements. Previous major renovations include a 39-window replacement in 2014, kitchen and bathroom remodels in unit 303 (2016), and various termite-related repairs in units 304 and 306 (2016).

The property has experienced recurring fire safety concerns, with violations and complaints related to emergency lighting, sprinklers, and extinguisher systems dating from 2019-2024, though most have been subsequently corrected or abated. A notable safety upgrade was completed in 2012 with the installation of garage wall improvements per 2010 CBC regulations. The building's maintenance history shows attention to both structural and safety improvements, including rear balcony upgrades (2003), sidewalk repairs (2004), and a 2019 water heater replacement.

While the property has generally maintained compliance with housing regulations, there have been several fire safety violations and complaints, particularly regarding sprinkler systems and exit maintenance, with the most recent fire safety issues occurring in mid-2024. The building has recorded multiple 311 calls primarily related to parking enforcement, with ten complaints about blocked driveways between July and December 2024, though many of these resulted in officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles. Regular routine housing inspections occurred in 1998, 1999, and 2006, with no significant ongoing issues noted from these inspections.
