Initial analysis

The property at 205-207 Chattanooga Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building in Noe Valley, containing 5 units and built in 1895, currently owned by Richard B Raskin. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being the installation of a ground conductor in September 2019 and the completion of its mandatory seismic retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $45,000. The property has a history of addressing various structural and safety issues, particularly in 2006-2010, when multiple violations were recorded and subsequently abated, including repairs to stairs, landings, and interior surfaces, as well as fire safety improvements such as sprinkler installation and fire extinguisher maintenance. More recent maintenance has included plumbing upgrades (replacement of sewer line in 2014), electrical system improvements, and general maintenance work such as reroofing in 2009 and kitchen/bathroom remodels in 2008.

The building's recent history shows continued attention to maintenance and safety requirements, with no active violations currently on record. External reports from 2022-2024 have primarily focused on street cleaning, tree maintenance, and minor infrastructure issues outside the property line, with one documented gas leak incident and a collapsed sidewalk report in 2022 that was determined not to be in the public right-of-way. The property's compliance with the soft-story retrofit program (designated as Tier 3, Work Complete, CFC Issued) indicates it has met important seismic safety requirements, though regular maintenance of building systems and prompt response to any emergent issues would be prudent. The building's documented history shows a pattern of addressing both routine maintenance and significant safety upgrades, particularly during the 2006-2010 period when multiple system upgrades and repairs were implemented following various violations and complaints.

Risk rating

How 205-207 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

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1203 are predicted to be safer.
