Initial analysis

223 Chenery St is a 4-story, 2-unit multi-family residential building located in the Glen Park neighborhood, built in 1975 and classified as a Flats & Duplex building. The property has experienced several significant events related to safety and maintenance, with the most recent being a notable incident in May 2024 where fire/smoke damage occurred in the garage area, requiring substantial repairs including drywall replacement, furnace and ducting replacements, and electrical work totaling approximately $25,000. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and improvements, including a 2022 project to replace exterior siding with fiber cement materials and 2024 upgrades including window replacement and new utility systems. The property has undergone multiple utility system upgrades in recent years, including water heater and sewer trap replacements in 2015, and more recently, the replacement of furnaces and water heaters in the garage area in 2024.

The building has a documented history of fire-related incidents, with previous fire damage repairs recorded in 1998, though no other major safety concerns are evident from the records. Recent 311 calls show typical urban issues related to parking, waste management, and street cleaning, though these are not directly related to building safety or maintenance. The property's ownership has remained consistent under Marcel and Fides P, and there is a record of a tenant buyout at a different address (131 Charles Street) in 2017 for $27,000. The building's permits and planning records indicate regular investment in property maintenance and improvements, with particular attention paid to energy efficiency through window and siding upgrades.

Risk rating

How 223 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
62th percentile

Out of 364 buildings in this neighborhood, 138 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.

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.

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 89.1%
Moderate concern 8.4%
Severe concern 2.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
