AI summary

The three-story multi-family residential building at 801-815 Chestnut Street in Russian Hill, constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Atc Family Investments Llc, is a 5-unit, 2-story apartment building. The property has undergone several significant events and improvements over the years, including a 2015 street space permit, 2014 gas piping installation for a fire pit, and multiple roofing projects in the late 1980s through 2015. Of particular note was a cluster of building violations in December 2015 related to safety equipment and documentation, including the need for carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguisher servicing, and routine safety inspections of common areas, though all these violations were abated by January 2016. More recently, in December 2017, there was a complaint about loss of heat in one unit potentially related to old wiring.

The building has maintained regular safety inspections from 2001 through 2017, with all past complaints having been resolved accordingly. Recent activity around the property, as evidenced by 311 calls from 2023 to 2025, has primarily involved street cleaning and maintenance issues external to the building itself, including reports of overflowing garbage cans, sidewalk debris, and other general cleaning needs. Two minor fire incidents have been recorded, including one related to excessive heat/scorch burns and another involving a malfunctioning alarm system, neither of which resulted in civilian injuries. While the building's historical records indicate some safety compliance issues in 2015, these were addressed promptly, and the property continues to be subject to regular safety inspections.

Risk rating

How 801-815 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.
