2465 Chestnut St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 12-unit, 3-story apartment building at 2465 Chestnut Street in the Marina district, built in 1928, has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple maintenance challenges over the years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 (Tier 3) involving steel moment frames and new foundations, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Recent building improvements include a boiler replacement in 2023 and several unit renovations, with kitchen and bathroom remodels documented in units 104, 203, and 201 between 2000-2007.

The property has experienced recurring issues with its fire safety systems, with violations and complaints regarding alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and exit maintenance documented between 2016-2019, though these have generally been corrected or abated. A significant cluster of violations in 2008 related to interior surfaces, including mold/mildew and damage to walls, ceilings, and floor coverings, was resolved within several months. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, including window replacements (2009), roofing work (2009), and siding improvements (2013), though some earlier renovation permits from 2000-2007 expired without documentation of completion.

Recent years have seen recurring issues with external maintenance and infrastructure, including a 2022 sewage backup incident and multiple 311 calls related to parking and street cleaning. The most recent fire safety inspection in early 2025 raised concerns about sprinkler/standpipe systems, though this was quickly determined to have no merit. The property's location has experienced recent issues with parking enforcement, as evidenced by multiple citations for blocked driveways in 2024, though these are external to the building itself.
