Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 249-253 Henry Street in Corona Heights, built in 1907 and currently owned by Survivor's Trust - Trust A, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years. Most notably, in January 2013, a comprehensive kitchen renovation was completed, including installation of new cabinets, countertops, sink, faucet, dishwasher, and associated electrical and plumbing work. Earlier maintenance included termite repairs in 1989 and reroofing in 1990, though the roofing permit is now expired.

The building experienced a notable cluster of violations in December 2002 related to gas safety and smoke detection requirements, including the need for stairwell smoke detectors, gas meter instructional diagrams, and shutoff tool provisions; however, all these violations were abated by January 28, 2003. A routine housing inspection was conducted in 2009, and while there was one fire-related incident in January 2010 involving a CO detector activation, no carbon monoxide was present and there were no civilian injuries. The property has demonstrated ongoing responsiveness to infrastructure and safety requirements, with a complete resolution of all historical violations. In recent years, from October to December 2024, there has been a series of parking-related issues near the property, with multiple citations issued for driveway blocking violations, though these are external to the building's condition or safety concerns. The most recent building service-related incidents involve street maintenance issues, including graffiti removal and debris cleanup, which were promptly addressed by city services.

Risk rating

How 249-253 Henry 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
27th percentile

Out of 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 254 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 62.5%
Moderate concern 20.2%
Severe concern 17.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
