Initial analysis

The property at 139 States Street is a three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Corona Heights, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by the Kay Tsenin Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being a furnace change-out completed in 2011 and the replacement of French doors at the rear of the house in 2005. Historical records show that the building underwent a horizontal/vertical addition in 1997, and in 1989, efforts were made to legalize its three-unit configuration. Several maintenance and safety improvements were addressed in 2002 following a routine inspection, including security upgrades to doors and windows, fire safety measures, and repair of stairs, all of which were completed by October 2002.

The building's maintenance history includes various improvements such as reroofing, bathroom and kitchen remodels, and plumbing system updates. Recent activity around the property (from 2024-2025) has primarily involved external matters such as parking violations and park service calls, rather than issues directly related to the building's condition or operation. There is one open issue recorded in September 2024 regarding structural maintenance of recreation equipment, though it is unclear if this pertains directly to the building or to a nearby facility. The property's documented history shows regular maintenance and prompt attention to violations when they occurred, with no recent building code violations or complaints on record since 2002.

Risk rating

How 139 States 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
73th percentile

Out of 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 94 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.

Building age

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

DBI complaints, owner's portfolio

Complaints across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

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 83.6%
Moderate concern 9.5%
Severe concern 6.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
