Initial analysis

The 3-story multi-family residential building at 800-812 Divisadero Street, located in Alamo Square, is a 19-unit structure built in 1900 that has undergone significant safety and modernization work over the past few years. Most recently, in March 2024, the building completed a major fire alarm system upgrade costing $28,560 to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas. The building has also addressed its mandatory soft-story retrofit requirements, with work completed and certification issued in 2023-2024. Recent maintenance work includes reroofing in December 2023 ($62,000), and plumbing upgrades in 2024 including sewer line replacement and fireplace heater replacements in units 3-8 and 12.

The property has experienced some maintenance challenges, as evidenced by recent complaints regarding water damage and leaks in late 2023, which reportedly affected multiple floors and resulted in mold concerns. In 2018, there were several housing code violations that required attention, including issues with mold/mildew in hallways, structural concerns with stairs, and problems with building access. However, these violations were officially abated by November 2018. The building's fire safety systems have been a recurring focus of attention, with multiple fire system upgrades and corrections documented between 2017 and 2024, including recent violations related to sprinkler systems and sleeping area requirements that have since been corrected. The property has also undergone various commercial modifications, including restaurant renovations and accessibility improvements, with the most recent commercial permit work completed in 2024.

Risk rating

How 800-812 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.
