Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 136-140 Eureka Street, owned by the Patrick V Barber Revocable Trust, consists of 4 units and was originally constructed in 1903. The most significant recent development involved an issued permit in December 2016 for adding an accessory dwelling unit in the basement and behind the garage, costing approximately $221,000. The building underwent multiple fire safety violations in 2001, including issues with egress obstruction, fire extinguisher maintenance, and combustible storage, all of which were resolved by January 2003 through a director hearing. Additional improvements included deck repairs in 2005, reroofing in 2002, and a notable safety concern in 2002 when an emergency exit door locking device was removed to create a clear path of travel.

Recent activity at the property shows a recurring issue with noise, including a complaint in June 2023 about sound limits being exceeded. The building has a history of 311 calls related to various maintenance and safety concerns, with the most recent issues involving construction noise and sidewalk defects in late 2023. The property has experienced multiple routine inspections over the years (1997, 2001, 2005), and while earlier violations indicated significant fire safety concerns, these were addressed through appropriate channels. The building's maintenance record shows periodic upkeep, including the resolution of a sidewalk collapse issue noted in October 2023, though this recent infrastructure concern may indicate ongoing maintenance needs. A 2019 fire complaint was referred to another agency, but no details about its resolution are available in the current records.

Risk rating

How 136-140 Eureka 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

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 1061 are predicted to be safer.
