Initial analysis

The Lee Family 2002 Revocable Trust owns this 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located at 1939 Taraval Street in the Parkside neighborhood, which was constructed in 1948. The property has undergone significant improvements in recent years, most notably a comprehensive renovation in 2017-2018 that included kitchen and bathroom remodels, bathroom additions, and window replacements, along with major plumbing and electrical upgrades costing approximately $95,000. This renovation project encompassed new water lines, gas lines, electrical systems including new sub-panels, and radiant heat boiler installation. More recent improvements include the replacement of two fireplaces with gas-burning units in 2019 and a roof replacement in 2018.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural integrity, with basement wall reinforcement work completed in 2004, and an electrical upgrade to 200-amp underground service in 2005. The property has experienced recurring issues with garbage and debris on the property and surrounding area, particularly in 2024, with multiple 311 calls regarding abandoned appliances and loose debris, though most were resolved promptly. A recent planning permit indicates work to replace street-facing windows with wood casement windows, though this appears to have been completed without major issues. The building has maintained compliance with various permit requirements, as evidenced by multiple permit renewals and completion statuses, suggesting active management of maintenance and improvements by the current ownership.

Risk rating

How 1939 Taraval St'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.
