2341 Chestnut St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 21-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 2341 Chestnut Street in the Marina district, owned by 5 K Farms GP, has undergone significant renovations and improvements since its construction in 1928. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofitting (Tier 4) in compliance with City regulations. Recent major improvements include the installation of cement fiber siding on the west side in 2022 ($30,000) to address lead paint hazards, and substantial unit renovations including multiple kitchen and bathroom remodels between 2018-2021 with updated electrical and plumbing systems.

Unit improvements encompassed Units 105, 106, 203, 207, 302, and 305, with particular attention to fire safety systems including sprinkler monitoring and fire alarm devices added in 2018-2019. The building's history shows consistent maintenance and upgrading of safety systems, though there were past concerns with fire escape maintenance in 2001, heating system failures in 1996-1997, and a fire incident in 2018 requiring repairs to Unit 105. Four fire-related complaints between 2006-2019 were resolved with either corrections made or found to have no merit.

The property has experienced recurring issues with driveway blocking, with numerous citations issued between February-September 2024. Planning records indicate successful legalization of a 22nd unit and conversion of three ground floor units to Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) in 2016, with additional ADUs proposed under separate permits. The building was subject to multiple routine housing inspections between 1996-2016, all of which have been marked as not active, though there was one complaint about loud construction during quiet hours in 2021.
