Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 232-236 Divisadero St in Hayes Valley, owned by Claudia Alice Colin Lvg Tru, is a 4-unit structure built in 1900. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the years, with the most considerable work occurring in 2001-2002 when approximately $10,500 was spent on major structural work including crawl space grade adjustments and foundation modifications. The building's roof has been replaced twice, in 1989 and 1994, indicating regular maintenance of essential building systems. In 2009, the property faced safety compliance issues that were promptly addressed, including the installation of required fire extinguishers and gas utility shutoff tools, which were all resolved within approximately one month. An unrelated complaint from May 2009 regarding unauthorized sewer line work and potential tree damage was also quickly addressed and marked as not active.

Recent activity at the property has primarily involved external environmental maintenance rather than building-specific issues. Between 2020 and 2023, there have been multiple reports of graffiti and loose garbage on the street and sidewalk areas, all of which were resolved through normal city processes. The most recent concerns, filed in September 2023, involved shared spaces and a parking lane violation, which were also resolved. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and compliance efforts, with no recent major structural issues or building code violations on record. The property's documented history suggests that while there have been periodic maintenance needs and external environmental challenges, the building has been generally well-maintained from a structural and safety perspective, with prompt attention to regulatory requirements when they arise.

Risk rating

How 232-236 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, 514 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 59.8%
Moderate concern 19.3%
Severe concern 20.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
