The building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the years, with the most recent work focusing on sound level verification in sleeping areas in September 2023 and kitchen water line updates in July 2022. Between 2007-2009, major unit renovations were completed, including comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels in Units 1 and 4, along with voluntary structural strengthening work. The building has received various improvements to its electrical, plumbing, and fire safety systems, with multiple bathroom renovations and kitchen updates across different units between 2006-2022.

Of particular note is a pattern of fire safety-related complaints and violations between 2016-2019, including issues with alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and combustible storage, though many were marked as "No Merit" or "Condition Corrected." The building's maintenance history includes regular inspections and prompt attention to structural issues, such as dry rot repair in 2016 and various voluntary structural improvements. Recent concerns have emerged regarding parking enforcement, with multiple blocked driveway complaints recorded between 2024-2025, though many were marked as invalid due to incomplete reporting information. A sewage backup issue was reported and resolved in December 2024. The property has undergone periodic routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services, with all issues promptly addressed. The building's records indicate ongoing maintenance and improvements, with no current active violations or major pending issues as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 3745 Divisadero 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 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 790 are predicted to be safer.
