AI summary

The Dea Family Trust owns this two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located at 327-329 Chestnut Street in Telegraph Hill. Built in 1907, this flats and duplex-style property has undergone significant recent renovations, with major work completed in 2023 including comprehensive kitchen renovations on both floors, bathroom upgrades, and structural improvements. The most recent permit from November 2023 involved modifying the first-floor kitchen layout in unit 329, including removing walls, adding a full bath, and relocating laundry facilities, with associated costs of $22,000. Earlier in 2023, a larger project costing $145,000 included kitchen renovations on both floors, removal of partitions, addition of shear walls, installation of a new garage beam, and bathroom fixture replacements.

The building's infrastructure has also seen modern upgrades, including plumbing improvements for both bathrooms and kitchens, and electrical work involving the installation of multiple outlets and switches in kitchen and dining areas, all completed in August 2023. Historical records show some maintenance work from several decades ago, including reroofing in 1995 and rock wall and ceiling repairs in 1984, though these permits have since expired. The property has received minimal complaints or issues from city services, with only three documented 311 calls between 2013 and 2020, none of which were related to building safety or habitability concerns. These calls were primarily for parking enforcement and street cleaning matters, which were all resolved through normal city processes.

Risk rating

How 327-329 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

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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Final warnings, owner's portfolio

Final warnings issued across all buildings this owner is registered on.

12-Month severity forecast

Moderate concern 3.6%
Severe concern 1.6%
