Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 506-510 Divisadero Street, owned by Joseph Angelesco Revoc Lvg, has undergone significant recent renovations. As of July 2024, work is underway to remodel kitchens and bathrooms in units 506 and 510, with earlier permits from May 2024 indicating similar intentions. The building received a complete reroofing in March 2024, and substantial electrical upgrades are in progress, including rewiring both units and installing new sub-panels. Historical records show various maintenance and compliance issues, particularly between 2003-2012, including interior surface problems, fire safety concerns, and plumbing complaints. Notably, there was a significant tenant complaint in 2020 regarding inoperative plumbing fixtures in unit 506, though this issue appears to have been addressed. The building's systems are receiving comprehensive upgrades, including water heater installation in 2023, electrical improvements, and extensive plumbing work initiated in early 2024.

The property has a documented history of maintenance and compliance issues spanning several decades, beginning with serious problems in 1998 involving lack of heat and hot water across all units. Fire safety violations were noted in 2006, and multiple complaints regarding interior conditions were filed in 2003. The building underwent various repair and improvement efforts over the years, with permits being renewed in 2007 to address work related to a rear deck, back stairs, and second-floor enclosed porch. More recently, the property has been subject to inspection for expired permits from the 2002-2004 period, which were addressed in early 2024. A tenant buyout was recorded for 510 Divisadero Street in October 2024 for $17,000, though records for 506 Divisadero Street are not provided. While the building has experienced various challenges over the years, the current extensive renovation work suggests a focused effort to modernize and address historical issues, with recent permits totaling over $400,000 for unit improvements and infrastructure upgrades.

Risk rating

How 506-510 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.
