Initial analysis

This three-story, 16-unit multi-family residential building at 250-262 Divisadero Street in Hayes Valley was constructed in 1925 and is currently owned by Graystone Partners LP. The property has undergone significant recent improvements, including completion of a Tier 4 soft-story retrofit, window replacements in 2022 (following planning enforcement due to prior unauthorized work), and a comprehensive fire system upgrade completed in 2019-2020 that included the installation of low-frequency sounders and new power supply. The building has a history of commercial space conversions and tenant improvements, including the transformation of ground-floor retail spaces into limited restaurant uses in 2018-2019, complete with necessary ADA upgrades and utility installations.

The property has experienced various maintenance and safety concerns over the years, with attention needed to address electrical systems in 2013, multiple fire safety issues in late 2021 including problems with alarms, exits, and combustible materials, and some historical violations in 2002 related to building safety features. Recent complaints and service requests from 2024-2025 primarily relate to exterior maintenance issues such as graffiti, debris, and tree maintenance, which are being addressed through regular municipal services. The building has maintained active compliance with most building requirements, though there have been instances requiring correction, such as the 2022 unauthorized window replacements that were subsequently permitted and documented properly at a cost of $36,000.

Risk rating

How 250-262 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 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 976 are predicted to be safer.
