Initial analysis

The 76 Divisadero St property is a 3-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building located in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood, owned by House Stark LLC, and built in 1923. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2022 (Tier 3) to enhance seismic safety, costing $80,000. Recent major upgrades include a $63,000 renovation of Unit 4 in 2023 (kitchen cabinets, countertops, bathroom tiles, and wood flooring), along with associated electrical and plumbing work (new subpanel, rewiring, shower valve replacement, and vanity replacement). The property has shown commitment to infrastructure improvements, with pending work showing a 400-amp electrical service upgrade completed in early 2024, and previous upgrades including the installation of a new water storage tank (2020) and backflow device replacement (2019).

Historical records indicate regular maintenance and compliance with safety requirements, including window replacements in 2012 and 2004, and support column replacement in 2008. The building underwent routine housing inspections in 2003 and 2009, with one noted violation regarding the central alarm system in 2009 that was promptly resolved within one month. Recent 311 calls in the vicinity primarily concerned parking-related issues and street cleaning matters, with no recent safety or maintenance concerns reported against the building itself. The property's maintenance record suggests ongoing investment in building improvements, with the most recent permit activity focused on modernizing individual units and upgrading building systems to current codes.

Risk rating

How 76 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
31th percentile

Out of 351 buildings in this neighborhood, 242 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 59.2%
Moderate concern 18.7%
Severe concern 22.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
