Initial analysis

The 4360 19th Street property is a 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space, built in 1914 and currently owned by Tsai Ting Hui & Lu Shen Ju. The building has undergone significant renovations and improvements in recent years, with major work including a completed soft-story retrofit in 2019 ($55,000), the addition of an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) at 195 Eureka Street in 2020 ($181,358), and multiple unit renovations between 2016-2020 involving kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical upgrades, and plumbing improvements. The property has experienced several compliance issues and complaints, including an active investigation from 2019 regarding an illegal unit in the basement, concerns about unauthorized construction work in 2018-2019, and multiple building violations in 2014-2015 related to fire safety equipment and structural concerns. Historical building violations from 2004 included issues with water-damaged surfaces and fire escape maintenance, though these were ultimately resolved.

The building has maintained active upkeep of critical systems, as evidenced by multiple plumbing permits covering waste pipe replacements, kitchen/bathroom renovations, and central heating installation. Electrical systems have also been consistently updated, with permits showing comprehensive rewiring projects, subpanel upgrades, and the installation of safety features like smoke detectors. Recent maintenance records (2024) show regular attention to street-level cleanliness, though there have been recurring reports of garbage and debris issues in the vicinity. The property's soft-story retrofit work has been completed and received final certification, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. However, several building permits from 2016-2017 were either expired or withdrawn, including permits for Unit 2 renovations and various plumbing projects, which may indicate incomplete or delayed work during that period.

Risk rating

How 4360 19Th 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
