Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 949-951 North Point Street in Russian Hill, owned by Todd & Cecile Leventhal, was constructed in 1940 and is classified as a Flats & Duplex structure with two stories. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a substantial kitchen and bathroom renovation in 2007-2008 that involved replacing cabinets, drywall, appliances, fixtures, and updating electrical systems, with associated plumbing work properly permitted and completed. However, the building has been impacted by several concerning events, most notably a significant violation in 2013 involving unauthorized construction of a roof structure, approximately 4x4 feet by 8 feet tall, with windows, door, and wood siding, which prompted multiple Notices of Violation and abatement proceedings. This unpermitted work was partially addressed through a permit issued in October 2013 that included removal of the roof stairs and installation of an authorized roof hatch, with a project cost of $20,000.

More recently, the property has experienced ongoing issues with illegal parking and utility-related matters, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls in 2024. While these recent incidents are not directly related to building safety or habitability, they may impact resident convenience. The building's maintenance history shows regular updates and improvements, with the most recent major work being the 2013 resolution of the roof structure violation. The property's age and history of both permitted and unpermitted modifications suggest a need for careful attention to building systems and regulatory compliance, though most recent permits have been appropriately obtained and executed.

Risk rating

How 949-951 North Point 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.
