691-699 Chenery St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The property at 691-699 Chenery Street is a mixed-use multi-family residential building located in Glen Park, containing three units above ground-floor commercial space, owned by Manhal Sami Jweinat and constructed in 1908. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the past two decades, with the most recent notable work being an electrical service upgrade to 200A approved in December 2024. A reroofing project costing $7,500 was completed in March 2014.

Historical records show a series of permit-related activities between 2006-2011, including storefront modifications and the installation of new kitchen equipment, with several permits requiring renewal for final inspections. The building's recent history (2024-2025) shows multiple maintenance and service-related issues, including graffiti incidents, a sewage backup discharge from a side vent, and a currently active complaint about a vacant storefront filed in April 2024. There have been several 311 calls regarding the property in 2024, including requests for general services and reports of public and private graffiti, though most have been resolved.

The commercial portion of the building has been home to two businesses: Le P’tit Laurent (a bar/restaurant) and Higher Grounds (a coffee house), both of which received necessary permits to operate in the Glen Park neighborhood commercial transit district. A notable 2006 incident involving unauthorized construction work, debris obstruction, and change of use concerns was quickly addressed. The property has also experienced some public infrastructure issues nearby, with recent complaints about vandalism and street maintenance, though these relate more to the surrounding area than the building itself.
