Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1941 Leavenworth Street in Russian Hill, owned by Wiley Mccarthy Fmly Tr, has undergone significant renovations and improvements since its construction in 1908. Between 2009 and 2010, the property underwent extensive work including the removal of exterior stair structure and construction of new interior stairway with roof deck, garage excavation, and foundation work, totaling over $600,000 in permitted improvements. Major upgrades during this period also included complete rewiring of the building, plumbing system overhaul with multiple bathroom and laundry installations, and the installation of a solar system in 2012 with 14 roof-mounted PV modules.

Recent developments from 2024 raise several concerns about the property's current condition and infrastructure. There are ongoing issues with tree-related damage, as evidenced by multiple reports in July and August 2024 regarding trees lifting the sidewalk and potentially damaging the building. Additionally, a collapsed sidewalk reported in September 2024 and a building inspection complaint from December 2024 suggest possible maintenance challenges. The building has a history of fire safety violations, with the most recent sleeping area requirement violation issued in December 2023, though many previous fire safety issues (including alarm systems and sprinkler concerns) have been corrected or resolved over the years. The property underwent a tenant buyout in July 2016, with $22,000 paid to two tenants, though records indicate this may have occurred at the neighboring address of 1925 Leavenworth Street.

Risk rating

How 1941 Leavenworth 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 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 249 are predicted to be safer.
