Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 814-818 Divisadero St in Alamo Square, owned by Seth Rosenfeld, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant renovations over its history. Most recently, on December 12, 2023, permits were issued for substantial bathroom and kitchen renovations in units 814, 816, and 818, with an estimated cost of $200,000. Historical improvements include comprehensive fire damage repairs in 1985, replacement of 12 foundation piers in 1988, reroofing in 1996, and the installation of vinyl siding in 1999. The building has experienced multiple inspections and maintenance issues over the years, with a notable water damage incident in 2008 that revealed problems with leaking pipes, electrical outlets, and rodent infestation. Several violations were documented in 2002 and 2008 relating to safety equipment and general maintenance, though all were subsequently abated.

The property has undergone regular safety inspections, with the most recent being in 2017. Plumbing work from 2011 included the installation of a new water heater, and more recent plumbing permits from January 2024 indicate ongoing bathroom remodeling work. The building's location has experienced various neighborhood issues as documented in 311 calls, including reports of graffiti, encampments, and waste on public property in the surrounding area, though these are primarily external to the building itself. Infrastructure improvements have been addressed through various permits, and the building appears to be undergoing ongoing modernization with the latest renovation work in progress.

Risk rating

How 814-818 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 305 buildings in this neighborhood, 64 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 71.2%
Moderate concern 22.7%
Severe concern 6.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
