727-733 Chenery St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The property at 727-733 Chenery Street in the Glen Park neighborhood is a three-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1912 and currently owned by Bu Li Wen. The most significant recent improvements to the building include the installation of a comprehensive fire safety system between 2015-2017, which consisted of a new sprinkler system throughout the building with underground service, along with a sprinkler monitoring system including a new fire panel and associated safety features. The building has undergone substantial modernization work in 2015-2016, including complete kitchen and bathroom plumbing installations across all four units, electrical system upgrades including 200-amp service installation, and various interior improvements. However, the building has several important active and historical issues that warrant attention.

The property has outstanding building violations from 2010 related to various maintenance and safety concerns, including required repairs to plumbing fixtures, electrical systems, interior surfaces, and documentation of lead paint safety measures. These violations remain active as of the latest available data. Additionally, there was a possible lead abatement incident in 2016 that was investigated but was marked as not active after correction. The building's recent fire alarm systems were last noted as requiring correction in July 2024 but were resolved by August 2024.

Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily related to external issues such as garbage debris and tree maintenance rather than building-specific concerns. The property underwent a significant renovation period between 2015-2017, with all major work receiving final inspections and appearing to be completed correctly according to building permit records. These improvements included structural modifications, comprehensive fire safety updates, and modernization of utilities across all units. The building has also been the subject of several routine inspections and investigations by housing authorities between 1997-2016, indicating ongoing regulatory oversight. While the building's major systems have been substantially upgraded in recent years, the presence of active violations related to basic habitability issues from 2010 suggests some areas of ongoing maintenance concerns.
