AI summary

The 39-41 Divisadero Street property is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1923, currently containing four units and managed by 39-41 Divisadero Street LLC. The building has undergone several significant electrical improvements in recent years, including a 100-amp to 200-amp panel upgrade in October 2022, though this was preceded by a concerning complaint in November 2022 regarding exposed wiring and improperly installed electrical metering that protruded into the public sidewalk area. Historically, the building experienced termite issues requiring treatment in 1994, and an expired permit from 1986 proposed modifications to a garage door.

A significant and recurring issue has emerged in recent years regarding sewer systems, with multiple sewage backup incidents reported between August 2023 and March 2024 suggesting potential ongoing infrastructure challenges. The building also experienced two alarm system malfunctions recorded by fire services, though no civilian injuries were reported in either incident. Regular housing inspections occurred in 2003 and 2011, but their specific findings are not detailed in the records. More recent maintenance issues have included a missing side sewer vent cover reported in March 2024 and some incidents of illegal parking and debris concerns in the vicinity, which while not directly related to building conditions, may affect resident convenience and access.

Risk rating

How 39-41 Divisadero 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.

Neighborhood percentile
