Initial analysis

The property at 2839-2841 Turk Blvd is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, owned by Joe Calvin and constructed in 1939. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent major work being a complete reroofing project completed in 2021 at a cost of $44,850. In 2011, the building underwent substantial renovations including exterior work to replace rotted/damaged walls, roof, and siding, the installation of new skylights, and an extensive interior remodel of unit 2841 comprising kitchen, bathroom updates, and associated electrical work, all valued at $82,800. This renovation was accompanied by comprehensive electrical upgrades to 200-amp service and plumbing improvements including bathroom fixtures and a fireplace flue installation.

The property's maintenance history shows attention to structural and systems upkeep, with particular focus on water-related features such as skylights and roofing. The building's location has been subject to recurring parking-related issues, with multiple reports of driveway blocking between 2018 and 2024, though enforcement officers were often unable to locate the offending vehicles. Additional minor incidents include routine street cleaning needs and one instance of graffiti on a pole in 2015, which was subsequently addressed by city services. The extensive improvements and maintenance work documented through permits suggest active management of the property's upkeep, particularly during the 2011 renovation period when major systems and finishes were updated.

Risk rating

How 2839-2841 Turk Blvd'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
92th percentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 42 are predicted to be safer.
