Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 140-142 Presidio Ave in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1925, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety events over the past decades. Most recently, in 2024, there were multiple issues with tree root damage to the sidewalk, sewage system problems (including a discharge from the side sewer vent in September), and various other maintenance matters such as graffiti removal and sign repair. The building's infrastructure has seen systematic updates, including a boiler replacement in 2015 (Peerless CI63-03) and roofing work in 1992, though the latter permit has expired. Two routine housing inspections were conducted in 2000 and 2008, both of which were completed. Fire safety concerns have been minimal, with only two notable incidents: a CO detector activation (reported as a malfunction) and a fire alarm system issue in March 2024, though both were promptly resolved with no injuries reported. The property's age and history suggest regular maintenance has been performed, though recent infrastructure issues (particularly the recurring tree root damage) appear to be an ongoing concern affecting the immediate surroundings.

Risk rating

How 140-142 Presidio Ave'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
50th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 482 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 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 50.5%
Moderate concern 26.7%
Severe concern 22.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
