Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2414 40th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Parkside neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1959 and currently owned by Alex W. and Judy H. Chein. The property has undergone some maintenance and improvement work over the years, including window replacements in 2017 (four retrofitted vinyl windows with a U-factor .32), and earlier installations of vinyl siding to the front walls in 1994 and right side wall in 1991.

The most significant recent development near this address was a tenant buyout at 2466 40th Avenue in September 2023, involving a payment of $24,000 to one tenant. The property has experienced notable issues in the past year (2024), with multiple concerning incidents including substantial sidewalk maintenance needs (a collapsed sidewalk reported in August), a series of garbage and debris complaints (including instances of furniture and human waste removal), and driveway blocking complaints requiring police intervention. While these external infrastructure and sanitation issues primarily relate to the public space around the property rather than the building itself, they may impact resident experience. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and updates, with no recorded violations or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 2414 40Th 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.
