2500 Chestnut St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 15-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 2500 Chestnut Street in the Marina district, owned by Hegarty Emmett T Revoc Liv, has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges since its construction in 1928. Most recently, Unit 4 underwent a substantial $60,000 renovation in late 2023, including kitchen and bathroom remodeling with associated plumbing and electrical work. The building has received major improvements over the years, including re-roofing in 2019 ($56,200) and various structural and safety updates in the late 1980s and early 1990s, such as garage earthquake retrofitting and brick repairs.

The property has experienced recurring safety and maintenance issues, particularly related to its fire safety systems. Multiple fire alarm system violations were recorded between 2016 and 2023, with the most recent violation in February 2023 being abated. Historical complaints have highlighted concerns about fire escape ladders, smoke detectors, and general fire safety compliance, particularly in 2005 and 2018.

The building faced its only documented heating issue in 2014-2015 when residents reported a lack of heat. A notable incident in 2018 involved a complaint about unauthorized occupancy in a garage space, though this complaint was ultimately resolved. The building's maintenance history features routine safety inspections and permit compliance checks, with most issues being promptly addressed, though there have been periods requiring multiple follow-ups to achieve compliance. More recently, parking enforcement has been a frequent issue in the surrounding area, with numerous citations issued between October 2024 and January 2025, though these are external to the building itself.
