Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 47 Codman Place in Nob Hill, owned by the S And W Chan Trust, has a documented history dating back to its 1914 construction. The property underwent significant structural and functional improvements in the 1980s, including the addition of a third floor completed in 1988-1989, installation of shear walls for structural support in 1986, and various interior renovations such as bathroom relocation and kitchen remodeling. A notable incident occurred in January 2006 when a balcony drain issue led to water damage affecting multiple units, resulting in several housing code violations that required repairs to ceilings, walls, floor coverings, and electrical systems, though all violations were officially abated by January 27, 2006.

Recent activity at the property has been relatively minimal, with only routine service requests recorded in 2023, including street cleaning and parking enforcement matters. The building's permit history shows primarily resolved or completed work from the 1980s, with no active major structural concerns apparent in recent records. The property has maintained compliance with housing codes since the 2006 violations were resolved, and there have been no reported safety violations or significant maintenance issues in recent years. The external environment has seen occasional reports of encampments and garbage concerns in the surrounding area between 2019 and 2023, though these were external to the property itself and were generally addressed promptly by city services.

Risk rating

How 47 Codman Pl'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
48th percentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 585 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.

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.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 52.1%
Moderate concern 35.3%
Severe concern 12.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
