Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 319-321 West Portal Avenue, constructed in 1933 and currently owned by Chung Enterprises LP, contains three units and includes a commercial space with a restaurant. The property has experienced several significant issues in recent years, with the most pressing being an active building violation filed in March 2024 regarding unpermitted commercial renovation work, including a kitchen hood installation, counter construction, floor tiling, and wall modification – this violation is currently under monthly monitoring. The building has also faced noise complaints from tenants in 2016 regarding a rooftop exhaust fan above their kitchen, which was reported to cause sleep disruption with loud hums during operating hours.

The property has undergone various maintenance work over the years, including multiple roofing projects (1993 and 2014), electrical repairs (2016), and plumbing modifications (2013) involving a kitchen waste connection to a grease trap. A known issue regarding emergency safety equipment was documented in October 2015, with fire code violations issued for impaired illumination/exit signs, emergency lighting repairs, and fire extinguisher upgrades, though these were eventually closed. The building's commercial space has experienced repeated issues with unauthorized modifications, as evidenced by complaints in 2022 regarding an unpermitted banner sign installation. More recent administrative matters have emerged in early 2025, with multiple 311 calls regarding street cleaning and maintenance issues in the vicinity of the property, including reports of human waste and debris, though these external matters are not directly related to the building's internal conditions. The property maintains valid ABC Type 41 restaurant licenses, confirming its ongoing commercial use as The Manor coffee shop, though this appears subject to the resolution of the current building violations.

Risk rating

How 319-321 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.
