Initial analysis

The property at 815 41st Avenue is a two-story, multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1925 and currently owned by Gin Trust, the building was originally constructed as a flats and duplex structure, with two units. Notable modifications to the building include a vertical extension and new floor addition completed in 1986, along with electrical and plumbing improvements made in 1985. The property has undergone several significant maintenance improvements in recent years, including window and siding repairs, interior renovations, and a new carpet installation in 2016, along with a complete reroofing project that same year.

The building's history includes a brief period of concern regarding a possible illegal unit in 2010, though this complaint was quickly investigated and resolved within nine days. From 2023 to 2024, there have been multiple municipal service calls and complaints in the vicinity of the building, primarily related to neighborhood maintenance issues such as sidewalk repairs, excessive noise, and various street cleanliness matters. While most of these external issues have been promptly resolved by city services, two matters remain open as of October 2023: one regarding sidewalk and curb conditions from July 2024, and one related to excessive noise from August 2024. The building's safety record shows no significant incidents, with only one documented fire-related complaint (regarding weeds and grass) from 2010, which was immediately corrected, and no civilian injuries reported in any emergency response calls.

Risk rating

How 815 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, 499 are predicted to be safer.
