Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 577 41st Ave in San Francisco's Outer Richmond district, owned by Gofman Felix & Kazimirsky I, was constructed in 1981. The property has a limited but notable maintenance history, with documented attempts at foundation stabilization through cancelled grout injection work in 2001 (initially budgeted at $15,000) and a reroofing project from 1989 that has since expired.

The building's recent history (2018-2024) has been marked primarily by parking-related issues, including multiple instances of vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks, with the most recent incident reported in October 2024. A significant infrastructure concern arose in July 2015 when there was a sewage backup involving a 4-inch sewer vent, though this issue was subsequently resolved. The property has also experienced some maintenance challenges related to street cleanliness and waste management, with reports of loose garbage in 2009 and waste receptacles being left out continuously, though these were addressed through standard city processes. The building's documented incidents suggest that while the major structural work (foundation and roofing) attempted in the past was not completed, the property has maintained basic residential functions with no recent reports of critical infrastructure problems.

Risk rating

How 577 41St 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

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 229 are predicted to be safer.
