Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 2035-2041 Powell Street in North Beach, owned by Yee Louie Revoc Tr, was constructed in 1909 and consists of 7 units. The building has a significant history of maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating systems and plumbing, with recurring problems documented in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Notable violations from 2002 included inadequate fire proofing, sanitation issues, plumbing problems, and multiple safety concerns such as the need for smoke detectors and security improvements. In 2006, the building faced lead paint violations which were eventually resolved by September 2007. More recent issues have centered around plumbing, with multiple sewage backup incidents reported between 2016 and 2021, including three documented cases of 4-inch vent sewer problems. The most recent building-related permit issuance was a street space permit in July 2007, and there have been various 311 calls regarding street cleaning and public space maintenance in the surrounding area.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing violations, though many issues have recurred over time, particularly in the areas of heating and plumbing. While many historical violations have been resolved, the repeated nature of plumbing issues suggests this remains a significant concern for the property. The last documented active complaint related to the building, filed in 2000 regarding water seepage, was not officially closed until 2005, though this particular issue appears to have been resolved earlier. The building underwent various repairs over the years, including dry rot repair and stair maintenance in 1998, indicating ongoing structural maintenance work has been necessary.

Risk rating

How 2035-2041 Powell 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.
