Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 323 West Portal Avenue, owned by Chung Enterprises LP, was constructed in 1933 and features three stories plus ground-level commercial space. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a $12,900 reroofing project in 2014, and a notable tenant improvement in 2010 that converted a former delicatessen space into a dog grooming facility, complete with new plumbing and electrical work costing $27,350. The building experienced multiple maintenance issues in 2009, when complaints about hazardous conditions were filed regarding loose roof tiles and unsafe facade panels, though these violations were abated by 2012. More recently, in 2023, there was an observation of the building as a vacant commercial structure.

Recent records from 2023 and 2024 show the property has been relatively stable, with most recent maintenance issues being exterior to the building itself, including street cleaning matters and curb defects. There have been two unintentional smoke detector activations recorded, both with no associated fire or civilian injuries. The property has a mixed-use classification, consisting of residential units above ground-floor commercial space, with some historical attempts at converting portions of the building to different uses, including a 2004 proposal to convert office space to a beauty salon (permit expired) and a 1994 application to legalize commercial use under amnesty (reinstated).

Risk rating

How 323 West Portal 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 24 buildings in this neighborhood, 8 are predicted to be safer.
