Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 145-147 Girard Street in San Francisco's Portola neighborhood, owned by Thony V Huynh and Eile Chuong, was constructed in 2009 as a two-story flats and duplex structure. The property underwent significant renovations between 2006-2009, including a major addition to the front of the existing building and extensive updates to both the plumbing and electrical systems, with work completed by August 2008. The building's history includes two notable periods of plumbing violations in 2001, when unpermitted work was conducted, though these issues were resolved by December 2001. More recently, the property received multiple fire code violations in May 2024 regarding emergency lighting, public assembly permit requirements, and non-conforming door hardware, though these violations were subsequently abated.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to infrastructure with various permits for improvements, including street space and sidewalk repairs, though some earlier permits from the 2000s, such as sidewalk work and ground floor additions, were either expired or completed without full documentation details. A series of 311 calls between 2016-2023 primarily concerned exterior issues such as graffiti and street cleaning, with the most recent being a sewer-related flooding issue in January 2023 that was resolved. Planning records indicate past parking variance requirements, which have been resolved, and there were concerns about overcrowding that were addressed between 2009 and 2015. While the building has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues over the years, most have been resolved through appropriate channels, though the recent fire code violations from May 2024 may warrant attention to ensure continued compliance with safety regulations.

Risk rating

How 145-147 Girard 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.
