Initial analysis

The property at 406 Chenery Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1924, containing three units and currently owned by Linda Wolkovitch Trust. The building has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past decade, with the most recent major work being the conversion of a closet to a bathroom in 2021 ($40,000 project). In 2016-2017, substantial safety upgrades were completed, including the installation of an NFPA 13R fire system ($6,000) and electrical work for new unit wiring with a 200-amp service upgrade ($60,000). The property has seen consistent maintenance and improvements, including kitchen and bathroom renovations, window replacements, and plumbing updates between 2011-2012.

The building has experienced several code-related issues in the past, though most were addressed promptly. In late 2011, there were complaints regarding unauthorized work and seepage issues, and in September 2011, there was a complaint about unauthorized stucco removal, all of which were subsequently resolved. A complaint was filed in March 2017 regarding unpermitted work in the garage area, though this is currently listed as not active. Recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of routine maintenance and parking enforcement matters, with multiple complaints about blocked driveways and sidewalk parking in 2023-2024, though these are external issues not directly related to the building's condition or management. The property has experienced minimal fire-related incidents, with one recorded fire incident in the past, no civilian injuries reported. Current maintenance issues being monitored include a tree pruning request from December 2023 and recent concerns about general street cleaning services.

Risk rating

How 406 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
36th percentile

Out of 364 buildings in this neighborhood, 233 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.

Building age

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 65.4%
Moderate concern 23.8%
Severe concern 10.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
