Initial analysis

The three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 4131 19th Street in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood was constructed in 1990 and is currently owned by Peter N. Kaiser. The building has undergone several significant safety and maintenance improvements over the past few years, with the most recent being a comprehensive fire safety system upgrade completed in September 2023 that included system replacement and new horn/strobe installations to meet current fire code requirements. In early 2024, the building received another notable safety upgrade with the installation of a new fire alarm system including wireless communicator, smoke detectors, and related safety equipment. The property has a documented history of maintenance, including a partial reroofing project completed in 2016 and significant structural pest control work in 2006 that involved dry rot repairs and additional improvements with a total cost exceeding $38,000.

The building's historical records indicate that in 2002, there were multiple fire safety violations related to fire extinguishers and smoke detectors, but all of these were promptly addressed and abated by September 2002. More recent 311 calls related to the property primarily concern external issues such as graffiti, sidewalk blockage, and street cleaning matters which were not directly related to the building's condition or safety systems. The property has demonstrated a pattern of proactive maintenance and compliance with safety regulations, particularly in recent years with substantial investment in fire safety improvements and building systems.

Risk rating

How 4131 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
55th percentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 575 are predicted to be safer.
