Initial analysis

The property at 33-37 Bernard Street in Nob Hill is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1903, currently owned by the Ying Family Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations over the years, with the most substantial work occurring in 2008 when all three units received comprehensive updates including kitchen remodels, bathroom improvements, and window enlargements, with a total projected cost of $63,000. In 2011, the building received a new roof at a cost of $7,150. A notable incident in the building's history occurred in December 2006 when flooding in unit 35 led to mold development issues that required remediation, though inspection violations from that period were resolved by March 2006.

More recent building maintenance has been relatively routine, with regular housing inspections in 2000, 2002, 2008, and 2011 showing no significant ongoing issues. The unit's infrastructure appears to have been well maintained, with electrical upgrades and comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels completed in 2008. The building's recent history (2019-2022) has included typical street maintenance issues such as Christmas tree removal and sidewalk cleaning, which were handled promptly by city services. The property has maintained active compliance with housing regulations since the 2006 incident, with no recent building violations or significant complaints on record.

Risk rating

How 33-37 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.

Neighborhood percentile
66th percentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 382 are predicted to be safer.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)
