Initial analysis

1731 Chestnut Street is a 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Marina neighborhood, owned by New California Land Co. Built in 1957, the property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades to enhance its safety and livability. Most recently, in August 2023, the building received a $37,850 reroofing project, following a window replacement project in 2020 costing $7,000. The building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (cost: $120,000) in compliance with SFEBCC Chapter 4D regulations, which included the installation of a U-fer ground system. Significant electrical upgrades were performed in 2004, including the installation of a new 400-amp main service with seven sub-panels, though this permit has since expired.

The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to infrastructure needs, including two completed reroofing projects (the most recent in 2023 and a prior one in 1998). Historical routine safety inspections of common areas were conducted in 1996, 1999, 2010, and 2016, though none resulted in any noted ongoing violations. In 2023-2024, the property experienced several street-related issues near the building's location, primarily involving parking enforcement matters and reports of urban cleanliness concerns, including multiple instances of human waste or debris that required municipal response and cleanup. These external environment issues, while not directly related to the building's condition, may impact resident comfort during street cleaning operations.

Risk rating

How 1731 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
42th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 573 are predicted to be safer.
