Initial analysis

The Ng Family Trust's two-unit residential building at 529 Chenery Street in Glen Park, constructed in 1963, has undergone several significant maintenance and infrastructure improvements over the years. Historical records show a reroofing project in 2004 costing $5,500, and in 2001, substantial repairs were completed addressing dry rot issues on two decks, representing 50% of the system, at a cost of $9,000. The property received a minor electrical upgrade in 2007 with the installation of a garage door opener.

More recently, the building and its immediate surroundings have experienced various maintenance and quality-of-life issues throughout 2024. Notable incidents include a sewage backup discharge from the side sewer vent in June, though this was promptly resolved by the Public Utilities Commission. The property has been affected by several environmental and street maintenance issues, including a recently reported overgrown tree blocking street lights (August 2024, currently open), and multiple instances of street cleaning needs ranging from abandoned mattresses to waste removal. There have been several parking-related complaints in the vicinity, including a recent resolved case of sidewalk parking and a blocked driveway incident. The building's immediate area has also experienced some issues with street lighting and graffiti, though these appear to have been resolved or are in the process of being addressed through appropriate city agencies. A fire complaint filed in July 2016 was investigated and found to have no merit.

Risk rating

How 529 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

Out of 364 buildings in this neighborhood, 84 are predicted to be safer.
