Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit apartment building at 215 Corbett Avenue in Corona Heights, owned by Christopher Chorey, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1955. Most recently, a $17,000 reroofing project was completed in September 2024, demonstrating ongoing maintenance commitment. The property has seen substantial unit improvements, including a $25,000 kitchen and bathroom remodel in unit #3 (2017) and a $28,000 renovation of unit #1 (2010) which featured new insulation, soundproofing, and window replacements. A partial basement conversion to a game/craft room with bathroom was proposed in 2014 but records indicate this permit was merely filed.

The building's infrastructure has received attention over the years, with electrical upgrades including a 200-amp underground service installation in 2005, and comprehensive electrical work completed during the 2017 and 2010 unit renovations. A concerning incident occurred in 2002 when multiple fire safety violations were documented, including issues with combustible storage, fire extinguishers, and lighting fixtures, though these were all properly abated by September 2003. More recently, in February 2016, there was an intercom system issue affecting an elderly tenant, which was subsequently resolved.

Risk rating

How 215 Corbett Ave'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 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 254 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 59.9%
Moderate concern 18.1%
Severe concern 22.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
