3781 Cesar Chavez St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 3781 Cesar Chavez St is a two-story multi-family residential building with four units, constructed in 1942 and currently owned by Chabad Of Noe Valley Inc. The building underwent significant renovations between 2014-2016, during which it was converted from R-3 residential use to include a daycare facility, requiring substantial updates to meet safety standards. These improvements included the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system ($24,000), a new fire alarm panel with communication features and notification appliances ($7,500), two new bathrooms for ADA compliance, and extensive electrical work including security cameras and exterior lighting.

The conversion project also included exterior modifications such as a new rear stairs landing and deck stairs, which were completed in 2020. The building's safety and code compliance history shows regular maintenance and upgrading of safety systems, including fire sprinkler installations, voice evacuation fire alarm systems, and emergency lighting. A notable complaint in 2012 regarding unauthorized garage conversion was resolved within 20 days, and a 2021 fire alarm system complaint was found to have no merit.

The property has experienced multiple minor fire-related incidents, including unintentional smoke detector activations and contained cooking fires, though these events resulted in no injuries or significant damage. Recent maintenance issues have included sidewalk defects and a missing side sewer vent cover, both of which were addressed by city services. The building's recent history shows regular interaction with city services primarily related to parking enforcement and routine maintenance matters.
