Initial analysis

The 12-unit multi-family residential building at 1901 Chestnut Street, owned by the M & A Delucchi Family Limited Partnership, has undergone significant improvements since its construction in 1960, with particular attention to safety systems and unit modernization. Most notably, the building completed a fire alarm system upgrade in April 2024 ($32,229) to comply with current fire code requirements, following its soft-story retrofit completed in 2018 ($80,000) which brought it into compliance with seismic safety standards. Between 2017 and 2021, multiple unit renovations were performed, including comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels in Units 2, 3, 5, 6, and 8, along with associated electrical and plumbing upgrades totaling over $200,000.

The building faced a significant incident in July 2006 when a fire occurred, resulting in approximately $30,000 in damages and leading to several violation notifications that were subsequently resolved. There have been recurring issues with building systems, including a notable complaint in December 2021 regarding environmental concerns with chemical smells and elevated CO2 levels in Unit 4, though this complaint is currently listed as inactive. The property has experienced multiple elevator rescue incidents, though none resulted in civilian injuries, and there were violations related to fire sprinkler and alarm system maintenance in 2018 that were abated. Regular building inspections and enforcement actions have been conducted, with the most recent fire alarm system upgrade indicating ongoing commitment to safety compliance. The building's management has responded to various maintenance and safety issues over the years, though some tenant concerns, particularly regarding the 2021 chemical smell incident, have resulted in disputes over testing and remediation.

Risk rating

How 1901 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
31th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 682 are predicted to be safer.
