297-299 Chenery St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The property at 297-299 Chenery Street is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1907, containing three residential units plus a garage space, located in San Francisco's Glen Park neighborhood. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past two decades, with the most pressing current concerns centering around water damage and potential lead paint hazards. Recent complaints from October 2023 report uncontained paint removal activities with potential lead safety implications, while January 2023 complaints documented inoperative plumbing systems and mold issues.

A notably serious violation filed in March 2019 reported unauthorized occupancy of a garage structure without proper facilities or heat, which resulted in multiple building violations including requirements to paint walls and address lead paint concerns. The building has undergone various renovations and repairs over the years including electrical system updates, bathroom and laundry facility modifications, and garage door restoration work. Historical records from the early 2000s reveal a pattern of significant maintenance challenges, including reports of a missing roof, safety concerns regarding emergency exits, and various interior surface problems including damaged ceilings, walls, and floors.

While many of these historical issues were addressed through subsequent repairs and improvements, the property has maintained a somewhat concerning pattern of plumbing and interior maintenance problems. Building permits and electrical work records show numerous upgrades to the electrical system and various interior modifications, including accessible facilities installation and multiple electrical system upgrades between 2002 and 2009. Recent 311 calls from 2024 suggest ongoing maintenance activity around the property, including tree maintenance, sewer issues, and various street cleaning matters, though these appear to be primarily external to the building itself.
