Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 1564-1566 Chestnut Street in the Marina district, owned by David & Anita Garfagnoli Fm, has undergone several significant renovations since its construction in 1923. The most recent major improvement was completed in January 2022, involving replacement of eight windows at the rear of the building with energy-efficient vinyl windows. Earlier improvements include the addition of a rear bedroom deck in 2004, window replacements (including both front living room and rear windows), garage floor reconstruction in 2002, kitchen renovation, and electrical work for garden lighting in 2004. These permits indicate regular maintenance and upgrading of the property's features over the years.

The building has experienced a notable pattern of parking enforcement issues in recent months, with multiple complaints about driveway blocking recorded between May and September 2024. During this period, eight citations were issued to vehicles blocking the driveway, suggesting an ongoing challenge with parking management in the immediate vicinity. The most recent incidents occurred in September 2024, with at least one citation being issued and another complaint noted. While these parking issues do not directly affect the building's physical condition, they represent an ongoing concern for residents regarding access to the property.

Risk rating

How 1564-1566 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

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 306 are predicted to be safer.
