Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 39-43 Brant Alley in North Beach, owned by the Kathleen Golata Trust, was constructed in 1900 and spans three stories. The property has undergone several significant renovations, with the most recent major work completed in 2020 costing $48,000, which included comprehensive kitchen updates in all three units, along with associated plumbing and electrical work. This 2020 renovation addressed multiple infrastructure improvements, including the replacement of galvanized water lines with copper, updated drain and vent pipes, and installation of new kitchen appliances and fixtures. Prior to this, the building underwent various remodeling projects, including a third-floor kitchen and bathroom renovation in 2010 ($18,000) and remedial work in 2015 at 39-41 Brant Alley to replace deteriorating lath and plaster in multiple rooms.

The building has a history of addressing maintenance and safety issues, notably a series of violations documented in July 2005 that were all abated by October 2005. These violations included concerns about wood stairs, lead paint hazards, smoke detector compliance, emergency exits, and fire extinguishers. All these issues were resolved within a few months, and there have been no similar violations recorded since. There was one tenant buyout recorded at 43 Brant Alley in December 2019 involving five tenants for $60,000. The property has experienced recurring issues with waste management in recent months, with multiple reports between July and October 2024 regarding garbage toter maintenance, though these were mostly resolved through outreach or citation enforcement. Two false fire alarms were recorded, though no civilian injuries were reported in either incident. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep, with significant investments in modernization and infrastructure improvements over the past decade.

Risk rating

How 39-43 Brant Aly'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 362 buildings in this neighborhood, 185 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Building age

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 59.5%
Moderate concern 24.2%
Severe concern 16.4%
