630-652 Chenery St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The three-story, 11-unit multi-family residential building at 630-652 Chenery Street in Glen Park, owned by Susan Barrett Shields Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1986 and has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues throughout its history. The most recent significant maintenance work was completed in February 2023, addressing dry rot repairs on the rear exit stairs and deck joist in Unit #4. The building underwent major structural improvements in 2010, including the installation of a new steel beam and two steel columns to support a failing beam, as well as electrical upgrades adding numerous outlets, lights, and data connections.

A complete reroofing project was carried out in 2016 for $22,000. The property has faced multiple safety and maintenance challenges over the years, with the most recent being a health and safety inspection in late 2022 through 2023 that identified several issues requiring attention, including structural maintenance needs, smoke detector installation at stairs, and egress obstruction concerns. Historical violations from 2000 required resolution of various safety-related items including fire extinguisher charging, central alarm system repairs, and fire sprinkler installation, all of which were abated by June 2000.

The building has experienced occasional fire system-related issues, as evidenced by fire complaints in 2009, 2018, and 2019 related to alarms and exit maintenance, though all these conditions were corrected. Recent 311 calls from 2020 through 2024 have primarily concerned exterior maintenance issues such as sidewalk defects, cleaning needs, and waste removal. While the building has faced various maintenance and safety challenges, records indicate that most identified issues have been addressed, with the exception of some ongoing exterior maintenance matters noted through 311 calls.
