4135 Cesar Chavez St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The 11-unit, 5-story multi-family residential building at 4135 Cesar Chavez St in Noe Valley was constructed in 1962 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Notable structural work includes a 1996 voluntary seismic upgrade of the garage area and repairs to wood stringers due to dry rot. The building's safety systems have been maintained, with recent attention paid to fire safety in October 2023, where violations related to compliance affidavits were identified and subsequently abated.

The property has experienced periodic routine inspections, with the most recent occurring in 2023, though historical violations from 2000 regarding fire proofing and smoke enclosure doors were also documented and resolved. The building's fire safety history shows several alarm activations, though investigations found them to be false or due to system malfunction, with no civilian injuries reported. There were three significant fire violations in 2006 related to fire hazards, combustible storage, and fire door maintenance, all of which were resolved.

More recent fire-related incidents or complaints have been minimal, with a 2018 sprinkler system complaint deemed to have "no merit" and a 2015 issue with combustible materials being corrected. Recent building improvements include the legalization of a studio and a 2-bedroom apartment, though this process is marked as "Closed - CEQA Clearance Issued" in planning records. While the building has required various repairs and upgrades over the years, particularly in the 1990s and 2000s, the property appears to be actively maintained, with most recent violations being promptly addressed. The area surrounding the building has experienced typical urban issues, as evidenced by 311 calls between 2013-2022 regarding street lighting, pavement defects, and water service matters, though none of these directly impact the building's condition.
