Initial analysis

The 9-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 367-377 Chestnut Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by the Yee Family Trust, has undergone several significant renovations and improvements since its construction in 1907. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2014 at a cost of $35,000, achieving compliance with seismic safety requirements. Recent maintenance includes siding replacement in 2022 ($38,000) and reroofing work completed in 2021 ($20,000). The building experienced a notable cluster of violations in late 2015, when inspections identified issues requiring attention to fire safety systems, lead paint concerns, and building exterior maintenance, though these violations were all abated by May 2016. There was also a complaint about unpermitted work in 2021 related to an allegedly illegal unit, though this complaint was marked as not active.

The property has maintained regular inspections over the years, including routine housing inspections in 2001, 2005, and 2015-2016. While the building has historically faced various maintenance challenges, most recent records suggest improved upkeep. External to the building itself, there have been multiple parking enforcement issues in recent years, with several documented cases of driveway blocking between 2019 and 2023, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or maintenance. Recent fire incident reports show two minor incidents with no civilian injuries recorded. The building's compliance with soft-story requirements is confirmed as "Work Complete, CFC Issued," indicating successful completion of this critical seismic safety upgrade.

Risk rating

How 367-377 Chestnut St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
3th percentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 663 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 11.7%
Moderate concern 14.7%
Severe concern 73.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
