Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 972 Chenery Street in Glen Park is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1925, currently owned by the Salelanonda Family Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over recent years, including a major kitchen and bath remodel in 2020 costing $38,000, window replacements in 2019, and the installation of a 7.2 kW solar PV system in 2023. The building has also seen necessary infrastructure updates, such as the installation of a new furnace and plumbing fixtures in 2020, though earlier permits from the 1990s related to dryrot repair and reroofing have since expired.

The property has experienced some maintenance and compliance challenges over the years, with multiple building complaints filed between 2014-2020 regarding unauthorized work, construction noise, and debris issues. More recent concerns have centered around tree root damage to sidewalks, which was addressed through the city's StreetTreeSF program in 2021. The building has generated several parking-related complaints in the vicinity, with multiple instances of driveway blocking reported between 2018-2024, though the most recent citations in 2024 have been resolved. The property has maintained an active record of responding to municipal concerns, as evidenced by the resolution of various street cleaning, hazardous materials, and tree maintenance issues through appropriate city departments.

Risk rating

How 972 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
