673 Chenery St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 673 Chenery Street in Glen Park, owned by Ortman Norm & Norma Trust T, was constructed in 1965 and has experienced several significant safety-related events throughout its history. Most notably, in 2008, the building suffered fire damage affecting units 1, 2, and 3, requiring comprehensive repairs including kitchen and bathroom replacements, electrical work, and window replacements at a cost of $85,000. This incident led to multiple permits for repair work, including plumbing and electrical systems, which were completed successfully.

The building has experienced recurring fire safety issues, with violations related to alarm systems being issued as recently as October 2023, and multiple fire-related incidents including false alarms and detector malfunctions. The property's maintenance history shows regular inspections and some historical compliance issues, including an unsafe building designation in 2008 that was resolved. More recent records (2024) indicate various public works and street maintenance matters, including garbage debris and parking enforcement calls, though these are typical of urban residential areas and do not directly pertain to building safety.

A 2006 violation regarding fire system certification and 5-year service requirements was addressed, and all prior building violations have been marked as not active. The most recent routine apartment inspection in 2009 was successfully completed, though it is notably older than many recent building safety compliance checks. The building's documented history suggests ongoing attention to fire safety systems is required, given the pattern of alarm system-related incidents and violations.
