Augrented Insights Report

1457 Chestnut Street is a three-story, 13-unit multi-family residential building located in the Marina neighborhood, owned by Donald & Moy Chin 1996 Fmly and constructed in 1926. The building has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements in recent years, including a completed soft-story retrofit in 2016 (Tier 3) addressing seismic safety requirements, and a substantial fire alarm system upgrade in 2024 costing $45,500 to comply with SFFC section 1103.7.6.1.

The property has also seen upgrades to its mechanical systems, including the installation of a new steam boiler with backflow prevention in 2020. The building has experienced some maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with two notable complaints filed in 2024. One complaint in January 2024 reported security concerns regarding a broken front door latch, while another in July 2024 detailed problems with window maintenance, including dry rot and peeling paint on street-facing windows.

The property has a history of fire safety violations, including multiple alarm system and extinguisher issues in 2023 that were subsequently abated. Historical records from the 1990s show concerns about unauthorized unit modifications and structural integrity, though these issues have not recurred in recent years. The building's fire safety systems have required periodic attention, with violations recorded in 2023 related to alarm system maintenance, fire extinguishers, and building owner contact posting requirements, all of which were subsequently resolved.
