Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 2339 41st Avenue in the Outer Parkside neighborhood, owned by Chen Jia Rong, was constructed in 1967 and has experienced several significant modifications and events over the years. Most notably, in early 2016, complaints were filed regarding unauthorized construction of additional living spaces in the ground floor, which led to a sequence of permit applications to both remove and then legalize various unauthorized modifications, including bedrooms, bathrooms, and storage areas. By mid-2016, the building received approval to legalize a second dwelling unit at the ground floor under Ordinance 43-14, with associated permits showing the addition of habitable space, bathroom facilities, and a gas heater, all completed by early 2017.

The building has undergone some infrastructure improvements, including reroofing in 1997 and the installation of a new furnace in 2017. While there have been multiple fire safety complaints recorded between 2009 and 2020, most were found to have no merit or were promptly corrected, with one minor fire violation noted and abated in 2012 at the nearby address 2278 42nd Avenue regarding exit/storage issues. The property has consistently generated complaints about garbage and debris, particularly over the past year (2024-2025), with multiple reports of abandoned furniture and loose garbage, though these were typically resolved promptly. There are some current concerns in the vicinity related to parking and curb conditions, with one curb defect report still open as of November 2024, along with a couple of parking enforcement issues that officers were unable to validate upon response. A tenant buyout was recorded at a nearby address (2234 40th Avenue) in September 2024 for $10,000 involving one tenant.

Risk rating

How 2339 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
