Initial analysis

The 12-unit, 3-story apartment building at 1925 Chestnut Street in the Marina, owned by Glenn C & Melissa C Gee Rev, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements since its construction in 1927. Most notably, the building completed a soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $85,000, bringing it into compliance with San Francisco's earthquake safety requirements, with final certification obtained. Recent major improvements include a completed re-roofing project in 2024 costing $42,702. The building has experienced recurring issues with its steam boiler system, evidenced by multiple violations and complaints between 2004-2021 regarding permits and backflow protection, though these matters have been marked as not active and appear to be resolved.

More recent concerns include a 2022 complaint about mold and brown water in unit 206, which was filed in March 2022 but shows as not actively abated in the records. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues requiring attention, including a 2006 complaint about bathroom window rot, mold/mildew, plumbing problems, and trash chute maintenance. The property has undergone routine safety inspections over the years, with two notable fire alarm system complaints in 2005 and 2021, both of which were resolved. The building's management has generally addressed health and safety concerns, as evidenced by the resolution of numerous violations, though some issues appear to require ongoing monitoring, particularly regarding water quality and plumbing systems. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to parking enforcement and sidewalk maintenance matters, with no direct implications for building safety or habitability.

Risk rating

How 1925 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, 771 are predicted to be safer.
