Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 752-756 Divisadero Street in Alamo Square is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1905, currently owned by Univ Life Ch Charter #5497. The building's maintenance history shows several significant events, with the most concerning being a fire incident in April 1985 that required multiple repairs to address damage. Other notable improvements include a complete reroofing project in 2000 (cost: $6,950), the installation of aluminum windows in 1985, and kitchen renovations in 1988. A water heater violation was documented in July 2007, which was resolved by September 2007 through proper permitting and correction work.

The building has undergone routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 1999, 2007, 2010, and most recently in 2017, with all cases noted as not active. Recent activity at the property (2024-2025) has predominantly involved external issues, with multiple reports of sidewalk cleaning needs and garbage debris on public property. Between October 2024 and January 2025, there were eight recorded incidents of garbage and debris concerns, all of which were resolved by city services. There were also two instances of graffiti reported near the property during this period, one affecting a sidewalk and another on a signal box, though neither was deemed offensive. The building’s documented history suggests regular maintenance and prompt response to violations, with the most pressing current concern being the frequency of exterior cleanliness issues in the surrounding public spaces.

Risk rating

How 752-756 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, 95 are predicted to be safer.
