Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 635-637 Divisadero Street, constructed in 1900, has experienced several notable events throughout its history. Most significantly, the property has faced recurring issues with graffiti, with recent incidents in early 2024 including not offensive graffiti on nearby poles and an open graffiti case from February 2024. There are also ongoing safety concerns, as evidenced by two open complaints from March 2023 regarding tripping hazards from uncovered wires and cables, though these issues have not yet been resolved. The building's maintenance history shows a major plumbing upgrade in 2001 when defective galvanized plumbing lines and various fixtures were replaced, and more recently in 2014 when the gas houseline was extended. An earlier plumbing complaint from 1997 regarding a broken main house trap was not officially abated until 2001.

The property has undergone several street space and sidewalk-related permits between 2006 and 2008, suggesting ongoing attention to public areas adjacent to the building. Planning records indicate that the "Pact of Action for Challenging Times" business registry application was approved, and while there were appeals on the file, they were upheld. A fire alarm system issue was reported and promptly corrected in November 2009. The building's vicinity has experienced various street maintenance matters as documented in 311 calls, including instances of waste removal and general cleaning needs, with the most recent cleaning issue reported in December 2023. While these issues don't directly reflect on the building's condition, they provide context about the surrounding environment.

Risk rating

How 635-637 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
62th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 303 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.

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 62.9%
Moderate concern 16.6%
Severe concern 20.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
