Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1716 Divisadero Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by Twal Sameh & Mary, was constructed in 1926 and includes commercial space. The property has undergone various maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most recent significant work being the installation of a grease trap in 2013. Earlier improvements include a reroofing project in 2005, multiple hood and ventilation system installations in 1999, and various signage and awning-related works in the 1980s and 1998. The building has experienced some maintenance issues affecting resident amenities, including a notable bathroom malfunction in 2004 with a ceiling hole that was reportedly resolved within a day.

Recent activity around the property has primarily involved external maintenance and public service issues rather than building-specific concerns. Between 2022 and 2024, there have been multiple reports of graffiti on nearby infrastructure, including fire police call boxes and signal boxes, all of which were resolved by city services. The most recent building-related request was for a BSM service in August 2024. Planning records show the building has been involved in commercial space modifications, with approved permits for restaurant remodeling and continuation of formula retail use in the NC-3 zoning district. The property has maintained active compliance with regulatory requirements, with most permits listed as either complete or properly filed, though some older permits are noted as expired or cancelled.

Risk rating

How 1716 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
61th percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 261 are predicted to be safer.
