Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1339-1341 Pierce Street in the Western Addition neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by the Cheryln A Jefferson 2020 Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, including a $14,000 reroofing project in 2021, and two major window replacement projects: one in 2019 involving five windows converted from vinyl to fibrex ($14,320), and an earlier 2018 project replacing six windows with wood-clad Andersen windows ($18,231). Historical records show attempts at larger renovations in the 1980s, including cancelled plans for rehabilitation and restoration work with bathrooms and kitchens, as well as a proposed horizontal addition in 1989-1990, though these permits ultimately expired.

The building's recent history (2024) shows several maintenance and public space issues in the immediate vicinity, including multiple reports of graffiti (October and December 2024), noise complaints (October 2024), and various litter and garbage-related concerns. There has been one fire-related incident on record from 2014 involving an alarm system, which was resolved by March 2015, along with three fire alarm activations between 2014-2015 that were determined to be false or unintentional. The property has maintained a pattern of regular upkeep and improvements, particularly focusing on window and roof maintenance, though recent months have seen an increase in neighborhood cleanliness and maintenance concerns near the property.

Risk rating

How 1339-1341 Pierce 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 167 buildings in this neighborhood, 8 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building age

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

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 83.0%
Moderate concern 10.5%
Severe concern 6.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
