Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1438-1440 Shrader St, located in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1925, currently owned by Philippe Andre Villard. The building has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the years, with the most recent major structural work being the reroofing completed in 2008 at a cost of $25,000. Earlier improvements include the installation of a 200-amp electrical service upgrade in 2006, interior modifications for additional parking in 2002, and various repairs in the 1980s including dry rot repair, concrete pier installation, and a bathroom remodel with skylights. Two notable safety-related infrastructure issues have been reported in recent years: a collapsed sidewalk (reported April 2020) and a water leak (reported November 2012), though the water leak was resolved. The property has experienced recurring issues with illegal postings in 2019 and 2020, which were addressed by Public Works, and there have been multiple instances of driveway blocking requiring parking enforcement intervention between 2020 and 2024. Of particular note is a currently open sidewalk defect reported in April 2020, which may require attention given its potential impact on resident accessibility.

Risk rating

How 1438-1440 Shrader 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 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 195 are predicted to be safer.
