Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 40-42 Valletta Court in Glen Park, constructed in 1978 and currently owned by the Gallo Family Exemption Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and encountered some notable incidents over the past decade and a half. Most recently, in August 2024, the property had electrical system upgrades with the replacement of outdated Federal Pacific subpanels with new Siemens models, completed successfully without incident. In 2011, substantial window improvements were made, including the installation of 19 new Marvin Ultrex fiberglass windows and 2 sliding doors, with a focus on maintaining existing openings and improving energy efficiency.

The building's maintenance record shows an electrical system upgrade was needed, which has now been properly addressed. In terms of surrounding infrastructure, there were some tree-related issues reported in March 2023, with one complaint being resolved and another still in progress, though these were outside the building proper and handled by city departments. A notable incident occurred in 2015 when there was a smoke-related event that required response and referral to the Department of Building Inspection, though no civilian injuries were reported. The property's permit and complaint history suggests regular maintenance and upgrades, with the recent electrical panel replacement indicating attention to safety concerns regarding older infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 40-42 Valletta Ct'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.
