245 Chenery St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The property at 245 Chenery Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Margaret Marie Huffman. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including the installation of a voluntary new fire alarm system in 2022 valued at $25,000, replacement of a house trap and main drain line in 2021, and most recently, siding replacement work completed in March 2023 costing $12,000.

However, there are currently active concerns regarding construction practices, with a complaint filed in July 2023 regarding unauthorized scaffolding installation and debris management affecting neighboring properties. The property has a history of routine housing inspections dating back to 1996, and while most of these have been resolved, notable incidents include a 2018 case regarding illegal short-term rentals that was subsequently abated. Recent maintenance issues have included plumbing updates and various infrastructure improvements, though there have been recent reports of mold and debris issues in 2024.

Street and environmental services have handled several cases in 2024 related to debris cleaning, and there were tree maintenance concerns in 2022. The building's history shows typical urban residential maintenance patterns, with both routine upkeep and occasional violations that were addressed through proper channels. The property has undergone some zoning modifications, including a rear yard variance to legalize an existing deck, though this process saw various planning stages including an appeal.
