Initial analysis

The property at 305-319 Divisadero Street is a three-unit, three-story mixed-use building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Federal Financial Mortgage, with a ground-floor restaurant (dba Ragazza) and retail space. The building has undergone several significant maintenance activities over recent years, including dry rot repairs (most recently in 2024), multiple roof replacements (2019, with an earlier attempt in 2011), and comprehensive plumbing work including sewer lateral and trap replacements in 2018-2021, indicating ongoing infrastructure maintenance. A notable cluster of fire safety violations was documented in late 2021-2022, including issues with electrical systems, exit maintenance, extinguishers, alarm systems, and sprinkler systems, though all were marked as "Condition Corrected" by December 2022.

Recent building issues include a 2024 complaint for graffiti on the property and surrounding areas, and a 2024 request for a power door operator installation to improve disability access, though this is currently listed as "technical infeasibility." The restaurant has an authorized outdoor seating area, and several historic businesses have operated from this location, including the Legacy Business Registry-listed Comix Experience. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to structural and safety concerns, though the concentration of fire safety violations in 2021-2022 suggests there were initially significant concerns regarding building safety systems that required multiple corrections. Recent permits indicate ongoing attention to building maintenance, with a specific focus on historical preservation through repairs to molding and trim work.

Risk rating

How 305-319 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.
