978 Chenery St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 978 Chenery St in Glen Park, owned by Shawn J Zovod Living Tr, has a documented history dating back to its 1927 construction. The property has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges over the years. Most notably, there was a substantial electrical upgrade in 2005, including a 200-amp underground service installation and kitchen rewiring, though this was preceded by complaints about unpermitted electrical work.

The building experienced serious safety concerns in 1998, including reports of an illegal basement apartment with electrical problems and unsafe security bars, though these issues were marked as not active by 1999. A 2020 fire inspection noted violations for combustible materials and weeds, though these were corrected by 2021. Recent maintenance activities include a $17,000 reroofing project completed in 2015 and multiple tree-related issues reported in 2024. The property has seen recurring infrastructure challenges, with several historical roofing projects (1995 and 2015) and termite damage repairs in 1999.

Recent issues, particularly in 2024, include multiple complaints about blocked sidewalks, a sewage backup from a side sewer vent, and various 311 calls related to street maintenance matters. These recent incidents suggest ongoing maintenance and infrastructure challenges. The building's location has also experienced typical urban issues, as evidenced by recent complaints about parking violations and debris, though these are not necessarily reflective of the building's condition or management. A vacation rental violation was recorded and abated, indicating some level of short-term rental activity.
