Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 40-44 Pleasant Street in Nob Hill, owned by the Chiodo Family Living Trust, was constructed in 1906 and has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the years. Most recently, in 2016, the property underwent substantial renovations including new kitchen countertops, bathroom updates, and complete fixture replacements in all three units, with associated electrical and plumbing work totaling $21,000. Earlier improvements included a $25,000 wooden roof deck replacement in 2008, comprehensive plumbing fixture updates in 2016, and various electrical system upgrades. The building experienced multiple fire safety violations in late 2009 that were resolved by April 2010, including issues with fire extinguishers, alarm systems, and egress obstructions. Between 2014-2016, there were several complaints regarding unauthorized short-term rental activity, which ultimately led to a conversion attempt of three one-bedroom units to transient hotel use, though these matters were marked as abated.

The property has maintained active upkeep, including foundation work completed in 1995, bay window repairs in 1996, and multiple updates to windows and bathroom fixtures in the 1980s. Recent history shows the building has had limited structural issues, with the most significant recent activity being routine repairs and updates. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and upgrading of essential systems, while the 311 call records from 2023-2024 primarily consist of parking enforcement issues in the vicinity rather than building-related concerns. A single minor fire alarm activation was recorded with no injuries or damage. There have been periodic street space usage permits, most recently in 2016, suggesting occasional use of public space for building-related activities.

Risk rating

How 40-44 Pleasant 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
