Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 145-147 Bernard Street in Nob Hill, owned by Green Hills Views LLC, is a 1924 two-story flats and duplex structure that has undergone several significant improvements in recent years. Most notably, from May 2022 through early 2023, the property underwent substantial renovations including kitchen and bathroom refurbishments on both floors, installation of bathroom fans, replacement of plumbing fixtures (tubs and kitchen sinks), and repair of the rear external staircase at a total cost surpassing $75,000. A concerning pattern of infrastructure issues has emerged recently, with the building experiencing multiple sewage back-up discharge incidents in December 2024, totaling eight separate reports over a one-week period, primarily from the side sewer vent. These were documented as having been resolved through fieldwork by the PUC - Sewer Operations department. Additionally, there was an unpermitted work complaint filed in May 2022 regarding interior gutting and front window work, though this complaint is currently listed as not active. The building's maintenance history shows attention to both structural and aesthetic improvements, including a complete reroofing project from 1997 (permit expired) and a street space permit issued in 2017, though the street space permit cost appears unusually low at only $1. A fire alarm system issue was reported and resolved in 2019.

Risk rating

How 145-147 Bernard 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.
