Initial analysis

The property at 530-534 Divisadero St is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Judith L. Kaminsky. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with the most recent work being the installation of an ADA-compliant door operator in 2023. Major renovations include a complete reroofing in 2018 (cost: $29,950), substantial interior remodeling of one residential unit in 2013 ($65,000), and various plumbing and electrical upgrades between 2011-2014. These improvements included electrical rewiring of a complete unit in 2013, sewer system upgrades in 2012, and installation of a new furnace in 2013. The building has maintained compliance with safety requirements, though there were some historical violations related to heating and interior conditions in the early 2000s, all of which were subsequently addressed. Three fire-related incidents have been recorded, though none resulted in civilian injuries or significant damage.

Recent maintenance activity shows regular attention to building systems, including security improvements such as motion detectors and flood lighting in 2014, and periodic routine safety inspections. The property's location has experienced typical urban issues as documented in 311 calls, primarily relating to street cleaning and graffiti removal, though these are external to the building itself. The most recent building-related concerns appear to be adequately addressed, with no active violations or complaints on record since the early 2010s. The building's permit history demonstrates ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the property, particularly in terms of accessibility improvements and essential systems maintenance.

Risk rating

How 530-534 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, 137 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 64.9%
Moderate concern 19.7%
Severe concern 15.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
