Initial analysis

The property at 137-139 Corbett Avenue is a single-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in Corona Heights, owned by the Jones Prince Family Trust and constructed in 1955. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, including a solar panel installation in 2018 (5.1 kW system), comprehensive bathroom and kitchen remodeling in 2014 ($60,000 project), and a complete reroofing in 2012 ($9,900 project). Permits show consistent maintenance and upgrading of the property, with the most recent major works including street space and sidewalk repairs in 2016, replacement of the house trap and sewer line in 2016, and installation of three aluminum windows in 1992. An underground service conversion with two meters was completed in 2004, and there was a garage door issue in 2007 that was resolved within three months.

The property has experienced ongoing tree root-related sidewalk issues between 2022-2024, with multiple reports documenting damage to the sidewalk, as well as three occurrences of waste receptacles ("toters") being left out continuously in 2022 that required enforcement action. The most recent issues include a public stairway defect reported in September 2024 (resolved) and a tree root problem reported in June 2024 (currently open). While these maintenance issues have been addressed through regular city enforcement channels, they represent the primary ongoing concerns for the property. The building's permit history indicates regular maintenance and upgrading of systems, with no significant safety or structural violations on record.

Risk rating

How 137-139 Corbett Ave'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
85th percentile

Out of 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 52 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.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 80.0%
Moderate concern 13.2%
Severe concern 6.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
