Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1939-1943 Divisadero Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by Hampstead LLC, was constructed in 1923 and contains 5 units. The property has undergone several significant modifications over the past decades, with the most recent work focusing on accessibility improvements in 2020, including the installation of a new power door operator and hardware upgrades to comply with the ADA requirements. A notable change of use occurred in 2017 when a portion of the building transitioned from retail to retail with office space on the first floor, including the installation of a power door operator at the entrance. The building has maintained essential safety features, with a sprinkler system installed in 1983 and a complete reroofing project completed in 2010.

The property experienced a compliance issue in late 2010 when a complaint was filed regarding the unauthorized conversion of residential units to office space, which was subsequently addressed and abated by December 2010. While there have been multiple 311 calls in recent years primarily related to street-level issues such as graffiti, illegal postings, and medical waste, these incidents occurred on or near the property rather than within the building itself. The most recent building-related complaints and permits all indicate prompt attention to maintenance and accessibility requirements, with no active building code or safety violations currently on record. The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to both accessibility mandates and general maintenance needs, as evidenced by the various permits obtained for improvements and repairs over the years.

Risk rating

How 1939-1943 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
31th percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 462 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 44.7%
Moderate concern 34.7%
Severe concern 20.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
