Initial analysis

41 Terra Vista Avenue is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1959, currently owned by the May Ng Trust. The building has undergone several significant infrastructure upgrades in recent years, including a comprehensive electrical modernization in 2022 that replaced all main panels and fuse boxes with updated circuit breaker panels, along with the installation of roof-mounted solar panels in 2018 (3.05 kW system). The property has seen substantial plumbing improvements, with major work completed in 2011 involving both the main sewer lateral and garage lateral, and more recent gas line extensions in 2020. The building's heating system was entirely replaced with new furnaces in 2015.

Historical maintenance records show attention to structural integrity, with dry rot and termite repairs completed in 1997, though earlier window and roofing permits from 1991-1997 either expired or were not documented as completed. The property has a history of routine safety inspections, with the most recent occurring in 2017. Several complaints have been recorded over the years, including a 2011 incident involving potential water intrusion due to neighboring construction, and multiple reports of illegal parking and sidewalk issues in recent years. While there have been multiple fire department responses, most were for routine matters such as smoke detector activations or carbon monoxide checks, with no reported civilian injuries. The building has also experienced some exterior maintenance issues, as evidenced by recent 311 calls regarding graffiti and illegal postings in 2024.

Risk rating

How 41 Terra Vista 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
41th percentile

Out of 136 buildings in this neighborhood, 80 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.

Number of units

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

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 66.3%
Moderate concern 23.1%
Severe concern 10.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
