Initial analysis

The 1060-1064 Divisadero Street property is a 3-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building with commercial space, built in 1906 and currently owned by Ralph & Carole Johnson. The building has a history of various maintenance and compliance issues, with the most recent significant concern being an active violation filed in January 2013 regarding unauthorized installation of cell site equipment, which prompted additional permit work and electrical modifications through 2016. There have been multiple fire safety concerns, including two violations in 2021 and 2025 related to alarm systems, and the building has experienced several false alarm situations. Recent permits indicate ongoing maintenance work, including the removal of unauthorized equipment and various unit renovations between 2010-2016. The property has undergone several renovation projects, most notably a significant first-floor residential unit update in 2010 costing $3,000, which included new drywall, insulation, kitchen cabinets, and bathroom fixtures. Historical issues include a 1995 complaint about multiple housing code violations that were resolved by 1996, and a 2010 unauthorized demolition/remodeling incident that generated a Notice of Violation. Recent 311 calls from late 2024-early 2025 show recurring concerns about street cleaning and waste management in the vicinity, though these are external to the building itself. While the building has experienced various compliance challenges over the years, many have been addressed through subsequent permits and corrective actions, though some violations remain open as of the latest records.

Risk rating

How 1060-1064 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.
