Initial analysis

The three-story, two-unit residential building at 40-42 Loyola Terrace in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, owned by Michael Kemper, was constructed in 1922 and has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past decade. The most recent and pressing concern involves water damage and mold issues, with multiple violations filed in February 2024 regarding interior surfaces, damaged ceilings/walls, and mold/mildew problems, all of which were officially abated by March 12, 2024. The building has also seen major safety improvements, including the installation of a comprehensive fire suppression system in 2015 costing $18,000, followed by additional related work in 2017, demonstrating a commitment to upgrading safety features. Other significant renovations include the 2014 conversion of a 270 square foot garage space into habitable area, including new bedroom and bath construction ($40,000), and various HVAC system upgrades including furnace relocations and replacements in 2013 and 2014, with associated electrical and plumbing work.

The property has experienced some maintenance challenges over the years, with several expired or cancelled permits suggesting incomplete projects in the past, including a 2013 furnace room upgrade and electrical work. A pattern of parking violations near the property was recorded between 2021-2022, though these are external to the building itself. The most recent building permit activity shows a focus on completing previously approved work, as evidenced by the 2016 permit to obtain final inspections for multiple prior approvals, though the specific cost was nominal. The building's history shows a combination of routine maintenance and significant safety upgrades, with the most recent violations indicating some ongoing building envelope or plumbing system concerns that were addressed relatively quickly through the city's housing inspection process.

Risk rating

How 40-42 Loyola Ter'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

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.
