Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 39-41 Bonita Street in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood was constructed in 1906 and is currently owned by the McGovern/Foley Family Trust. The property has experienced several municipal service calls over the past decade, with the most recent incident occurring in November 2022 involving a sidewalk parking violation that was promptly resolved through parking enforcement. The building's maintenance and urban interface history includes a notable water leak incident in September 2019 that was eventually resolved, an overgrown tree situation in August 2020 that was scheduled for pruning, and various street cleaning and garbage management issues in the vicinity between 2014 and 2015, including missed mechanical sweeping routes and loose garbage complaints.

The property has faced some community-related challenges typical of urban settings, including reports of an encampment in January 2018 that was successfully resolved through cleanup efforts. There were also instances of temporary parking and street surface issues nearby, such as a blocked sidewalk in December 2015 (involving a port-a-potty that could not be located during inspection), and two abandoned vehicle cases in July 2015 and October 2014, both of which were resolved when the vehicles were no longer present. While the building has experienced various maintenance and neighborhood interaction events over the years, there are no records of serious safety incidents or persistent property management issues directly involving the building itself.

Risk rating

How 39-41 Bonita 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, 725 are predicted to be safer.
