Initial analysis

The property at 1831-1833 Chestnut St is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by the Genevieve Chan Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent major work being window replacements in 2009 (4 windows) and 2006 (3 windows and 3 doors), both at the rear of the building and not visible from the street. Additional improvements include exterior siding installation in 2005 (1,020 square feet) and earlier structural work such as reroofing in 1993 and reinforcement of wood girders, footings, stairs, and rear deck in 1991.

The property has experienced various maintenance and service issues in the surrounding area, as documented through 311 calls in recent years. The most recent incidents in 2024 primarily relate to park and recreation equipment maintenance in the vicinity, though there was one notable sidewalk defect case in September 2023 that involved PG&E Gas utility work and subsequent restoration in February 2024. The building's immediate structural integrity appears stable, with no recent building-specific complaints or violations recorded. The majority of recent 311 calls (2023-2024) relate to parking enforcement and city maintenance issues, rather than direct building concerns, suggesting that the property's infrastructure and systems have been maintained appropriately, though some exterior elements like sidewalks have required attention.

Risk rating

How 1831-1833 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
71th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 287 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.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 79.6%
Moderate concern 11.3%
Severe concern 9.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
