Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building located at 152-156 Chenery Street in Glen Park, owned by Lenda A & Robert G Barth Lv, has a history dating back to its 1900 construction. The property has undergone several significant maintenance activities over the years, including a reroofing project in 2011 that cost approximately $8,850, repairs to the back porch and staircase in 1990, and replacement of rotting lumber in 1984. More recently, a street space permit was issued in September 2017, though the associated cost was minimal at $1.

The property has experienced various infrastructure and environmental challenges in recent years, with the most pressing issue being an open flooding complaint from December 2023 regarding the street area. Other recent concerns include street maintenance issues with a missing side sewer vent cover (resolved June 2024), multiple reports of garbage and debris on or near the property (most recently resolved in November 2024), and an open case concerning a damaged tree from December 2024. There have also been several reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity (August and October 2024), though these were resolved when the vehicles were no longer present. The building's age and location have resulted in periodic maintenance needs and environmental challenges, particularly regarding street cleanliness and infrastructure elements like the sewer vent cover and tree health.

Risk rating

How 152-156 Chenery 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
34th percentile

Out of 364 buildings in this neighborhood, 240 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 62.5%
Moderate concern 24.0%
Severe concern 13.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
