Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 409-413 Central Avenue, located in the Park North neighborhood, is a historic structure built in 1900 containing three separate units. Its most significant recent structural concerns include a 2020 fire wall reconstruction due to dry rot and temporary shoring of the rear deck. In the mid-1990s, the building underwent various repairs including stair and entry repairs related to new siding installation, while previous issues from the 1980s involved plaster repairs and interior painting. The property has experienced multiple safety inspections between 2000 and 2017, with one notable complaint in 2016 regarding unauthorized ground floor remodeling.

The building's recent activity has primarily involved parking-related issues, with numerous enforcement calls between November 2024 and March 2024, suggesting ongoing concerns with parking compliance in the area. A missing side sewer vent cover was reported and addressed in November 2024. The property was granted rear yard variances for stair and landing replacement/extension work, demonstrating proper adherence to planning procedures for structural modifications. While there have been multiple building permits and inspections over the years, the pattern of repairs and inspections suggests regular maintenance, though recent parking enforcement activity indicates external challenges in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 409-413 Central Ave'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 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 279 are predicted to be safer.
