Initial analysis

The three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building at 2472-2474 Chestnut Street in the Marina District was constructed in 1925 and is currently owned by the Wai & Susan Wong Family Trust A. The property underwent significant electrical and plumbing upgrades in 2011-2013, including a complete electrical system rewiring with 200-amp service upgrade, installation of 90 lights, 60 switches, 80 receptacles, and various kitchen appliances. The plumbing work included a comprehensive remodeling project involving six bathrooms and two kitchens, along with the installation of a fire sprinkler system, though the sprinkler permit subsequently expired. Recent maintenance activities have focused primarily on street space and sidewalk repairs, with multiple permits issued between 2012 and 2019 for these purposes, though most of these permits indicate minimal cost ($1.00).

The building has experienced periodic issues with street and sidewalk conditions, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in recent years, including reports of abandoned furniture and waste. Notable incidents include two instances of human or animal waste on the street (2020), illegal postings requiring removal (2022), and two cases of garbage and debris (2023-2024). Parking violations have been documented on two occasions in 2022, when vehicles were found blocking the driveway. The property's most recent incident was a carbon monoxide detector activation in 2023, though no CO was detected and there were no civilian injuries. While the building's major systems received substantial upgrades in 2011-2013, it's worth noting that some of the permits from this period are listed as expired, including those related to fire sprinkler installation and plumbing renovations.

Risk rating

How 2472-2474 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, 316 are predicted to be safer.
