Augrented Insights

Initial analysis

The 24-unit multi-family residential building at 2400-2418 Chestnut Street in the Marina district, owned by the Reitz Intervivos Trust of 2008, has undergone significant structural and safety improvements since its construction in 1926. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story seismic upgrades in 2016-2017, which included access improvements and the addition of an accessible restroom, achieving compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. Recent safety enhancements include a fire alarm system upgrade completed in 2024 to meet current code requirements, along with regular maintenance and improvements to building systems, such as reroofing work performed in 2022 and various plumbing and electrical upgrades.

The property has experienced periodic issues requiring attention, particularly regarding its commercial spaces, with multiple vacant storefront violations recorded in 2023, though these have since been abated. Historical maintenance records reveal past concerns with building systems, including a 2003 incident involving heating system compliance and fire escape maintenance, which were promptly resolved. The building's fire safety record shows regular inspections and prompt corrections of identified issues, such as extinguisher maintenance and alarm system updates. While there have been several fire-related incidents recorded, including false alarms and minor cooking-related events, none have resulted in injuries or significant damage. The property has maintained compliance with soft-story requirements and regularly undertakes necessary upgrades to ensure resident safety and comfort. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to external issues such as street cleaning and parking matters, rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 2400-2418 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

5th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 939 are predicted to be safer.
