Initial analysis

The property at 149-151 Collingwood Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1929, currently owned by the Chin Yun Wei Chen 1995 Trust. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the years, with the most recent major work being a reroofing project completed in 2017 at a cost of $18,000. In 2014, the property required termite-related repairs based on a report from Linggruen Associates, which were completed at a cost of $7,400. Historical repairs include work on the backyard sun deck in 2005 and side stairs in 2003, both completed according to permit requirements.

The building experienced a notable incident in October 2000 involving a broken window that posed a safety hazard with glass falling onto the sidewalk, though this violation was resolved by August 2001. More recently, there have been several 311 service calls in 2023-2024, primarily related to street cleaning, parking enforcement, and tree root issues. A tree maintenance request regarding lifted sidewalk roots was opened in November 2023 and remains active. The property has had multiple parking enforcement calls for vehicles blocking driveways between 2023 and 2024, all of which were resolved through proper citations. While the building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, particularly regarding structural elements like the roof and deck, recent concerns have primarily centered around exterior elements such as parking and street conditions rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 149-151 Collingwood 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.
