Initial analysis

The three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 2454-2458 Chestnut Street in the Marina neighborhood, owned by the Gheno Revocable Trust Of 19, has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years. Most notably, in April-May 2023, the building received an important fire safety upgrade with the installation of eight low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas, in compliance with San Francisco Fire Department codes, at a cost of $11,500. This followed a history of fire safety concerns, as evidenced by multiple violations in July 2000 related to egress obstructions and alarm system issues, though all these violations have been resolved and are no longer active. The building has also seen other substantial maintenance work, including reroofing projects in 1995 and 2015 (each approximately $9,300), and window replacements in 1996 and 2013. Regular safety inspections have been conducted over the years, with the most recent routine inspection occurring in 2016.

The property has generated several 311 calls in recent years, primarily related to garbage and debris cleanup on the street (with the most recent calls in 2024) and occasional parking enforcement issues. While there was one documented fire alarm system activation, it was determined to be unintentional with no fire or civilian injuries reported. The building's maintenance record shows a consistent pattern of addressing both routine upkeep and safety enhancements, with the most recent improvements focusing on fire safety measures. Recent years have shown minimal major safety or habitability concerns, though there have been ongoing issues with street cleaning and parking enforcement in the immediate vicinity of the building.

Risk rating

How 2454-2458 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

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 435 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 64.5%
Moderate concern 15.1%
Severe concern 20.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
