2355-2357 Chestnut St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The property at 2355-2357 Chestnut St is a three-story multi-family residential building with commercial space, located in the Marina neighborhood. Built in 1929 and owned by the Lee Family Living Trust, the building has undergone multiple roofing projects over the years, with the most recent re-roofing completed in 2020 at a cost of $7,000, following earlier roofing work in 2018 ($22,200) and 2008 ($12,300). Significant maintenance work was performed in 2001 to address water damage, skylight repairs, and dry rot ($27,500), along with seismic reinforcement completed in 1996.

The building has experienced recurring fire safety issues, with violations noted in 2024 (general unsafe buildings, exits/fire escapes) and 2021 (fire escape problems), as well as multiple fire complaints regarding operating without a permit in 2024 and 2021. A notable building complaint was filed in 2015 regarding a smoke stack emitting black soot and heavy smoke near windows. Recent incidents (2024) around the property include various municipal service calls for issues such as excessive noise, street cleaning, a sewage backup, and shared spaces violations.

The building's commercial space has seen various changes, including the installation of a retractable awning in 1998, a bar installation in 1995, and the controversial proposal for a large bakery that triggered planning discussions. Multiple fire safety violations have been documented between 2014-2024, with most being resolved or abated, though some required correction of permit-related issues. The property has maintained regular roof maintenance, with three re-roofing projects completed between 2001-2020, indicating ongoing building upkeep. Recent municipal service calls suggest ongoing environmental challenges in the area, though these are primarily related to street conditions rather than building-specific issues.
