Initial analysis

The property at 139-141 11th Ave is a 3-story, 2-unit multi-family residential building located in the Lake-The Presidio neighborhood, owned by the Joan L Francis Living Trust and constructed in 1902. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most substantial renovation occurring in 1999 when a major transformation included raising the roof to a flat design, adding a garage, and enclosing a deck for additional rooms, at a cost of $50,000. Other improvements include a bathroom remodeling project in 1993, roof repairs in 1991, and a complete sewer replacement in 2022, demonstrating ongoing maintenance and upgrades to essential systems.

Recent activity around the building has primarily involved parking-related issues, with multiple reports of illegal parking and blocked driveways recorded between 2024 and 2021. There were also some concerns about sidewalk parking and abandoned vehicles in 2016-2017, though in each case, responding authorities were either unable to locate the vehicles or found them to be gone upon arrival. A pavement defect was noted in July 2021, and there was one environmental health complaint filed with the Department of Public Health in June 2016, though no specific details about the nature or resolution of this complaint are provided in the records. The most recent building improvement, the 2022 sewer replacement, suggests the property has had attention to critical infrastructure maintenance, while the pattern of parking complaints indicates ongoing challenges with the immediate street parking situation.

Risk rating

How 139-141 11Th 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

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.

Building age

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 78.3%
Moderate concern 16.1%
Severe concern 5.7%
