Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 20-22 Divisadero Street, located in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood, is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1910, currently owned by Win Schachter & Frank Plaie. The building's permit history shows several significant improvements between 1991 and 1996, including the installation of new dining room cabinetry, lighting fixtures, and furnace in 1991, structural modifications for side-by-side parking with steel i-beam reinforcement in 1992, bedroom remodeling with window replacements and electrical upgrades in 1995, and reroofing work in 1996. Two street space permits were issued in late 2007 and 2008, each with a minimal cost of $1.

The property has experienced a recurring issue with parking violations in recent years, particularly in 2023-2024, with multiple reports of vehicles blocking the driveway. There were at least eight documented incidents of driveway blocking between March 2023 and January 2024, resulting in several citations being issued, though some vehicles were not located when enforcement officers responded. More recently, in July and September 2023, there were two reports of tree root damage to the sidewalk, which remains an open case as of October 2023. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep was performed during the 1990s, but there are no recorded permits or significant maintenance activities in the past two decades, which may indicate either adequate existing conditions or potential deferred maintenance.

Risk rating

How 20-22 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
60th percentile

Out of 351 buildings in this neighborhood, 140 are predicted to be safer.
