Initial analysis

The property at 1777 Chestnut Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in the Marina neighborhood, owned by Vanessa Claire Kitchen and built in 1924. The building underwent significant improvements in 2017-2019, including the addition of a new unit (#3) with roof deck access and retractable skylight, extensive renovations to units 3 and 4, and roof replacement costing $14,000. The building's electrical system was notably upgraded in 2017-2019 with new subpanels, lighting, and safety features, including a recent main disconnect breaker replacement completed in August 2024. The property received a tenant buyout in August 2017 involving two tenants for $40,000.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to both safety and comfort, with several plumbing upgrades including new furnaces (2018) and roof drainage systems (2019). While there was a cluster of violations in October 2001 related to fire safety, smoke detectors, and electrical systems, these were all promptly addressed by November 2001. More recently, there have been some graffiti incidents reported in 2023-2024 and a few street cleaning issues, but these do not appear to directly affect the building's habitability. The most recent building maintenance activities suggest ongoing investment in infrastructure and safety systems, with no active violations or complaints on record since the 2001 issues were resolved.

Risk rating

How 1777 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
35th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 642 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 42.6%
Moderate concern 24.3%
Severe concern 33.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
