Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 2471 Chestnut Street in the Marina District, owned by the Michael P Singer Revocable Trust, has experienced various maintenance and safety incidents since its construction in 1930. Most recently, in August 2023, the building underwent reroofing work valued at $12,400. The property has a documented history of termite issues, with repairs completed in 1990 and 1994, though no such problems have been reported in recent decades.

The building has encountered multiple parking enforcement issues over the past year, with seven documented cases of driveway blocking between July 2023 and January 2025, resulting in several citations being issued. Two notable safety incidents were recorded: a gas leak (situation 412) and two malfunctioning alarm system activations (situation 735), though none of these emergencies resulted in civilian injuries. The building's maintenance history shows attention to roofing updates and previous pest control measures, while the recent parking enforcement issues suggest ongoing challenges with vehicle management around the property.

Risk rating

How 2471 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
