Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2393-2395 41st Avenue in the Outer Parkside neighborhood, owned by Clifford Alan Young, has undergone significant recent renovations and improvements since 2020. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2022 (Tier 3) and installed a new fire sprinkler system throughout the first floor in 2023, demonstrating compliance with current safety requirements. Recent work has focused on updating fire safety systems, including the installation of low-frequency sounders, additional notification devices, and new fire alarm control panels (2021-2024). The property also underwent substantial modifications in 2020 with the addition of three new dwelling units on the ground floor, including comprehensive electrical and plumbing upgrades.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety and building code compliance, though there have been some concerns about delayed responses to issues. In 2024, there were complaints about unsafe conditions related to plumbing work, including an unprotected trench and debris at the site, which was subsequently addressed. Previous violations from 2014-2015 included various safety issues such as mold, window leaks, and the need for carbon monoxide detectors, all of which were documented as abated. Historical records show past concerns about fire escape ladders, garage usage, and fire safety equipment, but these issues have been resolved through proper maintenance and upgrades. The building's location has experienced periodic issues with street cleaning and parking violations, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024.

Risk rating

How 2393-2395 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.
