Initial analysis

The property at 17-19 Chattanooga Street is a 3-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Victoria Miller. The building has undergone significant improvements and renovations in recent years, with major work completed between 2020-2023 including the installation of a comprehensive fire safety system (sprinklers and alarms), complete remodeling of all three units (including six bathrooms, three kitchens, and three washer/dryer installations), and electrical rewiring of all units. The building's fire safety infrastructure was notably enhanced in 2020 with the installation of a new fire alarm system ($6,800) and fire sprinkler system ($20,000), followed by additional improvements including new furnaces ($54,300) in 2022 and exterior upgrades in 2023 ($25,000).

The property has experienced some construction-related issues in the past, including complaints about construction debris in 2020, construction work beyond approved scope in 2019, and window installation concerns in 2021 regarding compliance with historic property regulations. Historical violations from 2001 and 2007 related to fire safety and gas meter requirements were all promptly addressed and abated. The building underwent significant upgrades including window replacements, dormer additions, and garage modifications as part of various approved permits. Three successful tenant buyouts were completed between 2017-2018, totaling $255,500, clearing the way for substantial property improvements. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to routine maintenance issues like garbage collection and tree maintenance, with no serious safety concerns reported in the most recent years.

Risk rating

How 17-19 Chattanooga 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
22th percentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 997 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Severe concern 11.1%
