Initial analysis

This two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building, constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past few decades, with the most recent concerns emerging in 2022-2023. In November 2023, there was a complaint regarding unauthorized business activities (Level 6 Shredding) and possible unpermitted construction or remodeling work, though this violation was marked as not active by mid-November 2023. The property has undergone various electrical upgrades, most notably in August 2019 when all three units received replacement of hazardous Federal Pacific breaker main panels. In 2021, multiple maintenance issues were documented and subsequently addressed, including repairs to unit doors, plumbing fixtures, and exterior woodwork, which were officially abated by July 29, 2021. Earlier compliance issues include unauthorized rear decks constructed in 2009, which were ultimately removed in 2014, and concerns about an unlicensed unit in 1996.

The building's maintenance history reveals periodic attention to basic infrastructure needs, including a reroofing project from 1994 and various plumbing and electrical upgrades. In recent years, there have been recurring issues with garbage and debris cleanup in the vicinity, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls throughout 2023-2024. There were also reports of pest-related concerns, including a significant termite appearance near the sidewalk in late 2022 and various rodent-related complaints in 2021, though some of these environmental issues were addressed through city services. The property's maintenance record shows a pattern of addressing basic upkeep needs, though some issues have required multiple interventions to resolve completely.

Risk rating

How 139-141 Collingwood 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.
