Initial analysis

The 1012 Divisadero St property is a 7-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building located in the Western Addition neighborhood, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by the Schleelein-cheung Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the years, with the most substantial work occurring in 2010 when major improvements were made to unit #2 on the 2nd and 3rd floors, including bathroom renovations, kitchen updates, and electrical system improvements totaling $75,000. Prior improvements include foundation repairs (2002), garage construction (2002), and various maintenance works between 2001-2003.

Of particular concern is an active building complaint filed in December 2020 regarding the property's potential status as a soft-story structure, suggesting significant hazard implications for residents. The building has experienced multiple fire safety incidents, including carbon monoxide detector activations and smoke detector malfunctions between 2016-2023, though no civilian injuries were reported in these events. Historical complaints from 1994 indicate previous moisture and mold issues, and there were notable concerns in 2002-2003 regarding garage use, security, and construction impacts on neighboring properties. The property has also faced recurring issues with graffiti and illegal postings along the streetfront, with multiple 311 calls in 2021 and 2022 for these matters. Recent activity includes a tenant buyout at the adjacent 1010 Divisadero St address in May 2023 for $58,000, involving one tenant.

Risk rating

How 1012 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.
