Initial analysis

The three-story residential building at 48-52 Woodward Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, owned by Roland C Mouawad, was constructed in 1908 and contains three units. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most concerning cluster of violations occurring in early 2019. These included problems with interior mold and mildew, fire safety violations (such as missing fire extinguishers and smoke alarm certification issues), and various building maintenance concerns including handrail repairs, egress obstructions, and security deficiencies like improper locks. All these 2019 violations were addressed and officially abated by May 2019.

Prior to 2019, the building had documented issues with water intrusion, plumbing problems, and ceiling collapse in 2014, along with multiple safety inspections highlighting various concerns. More recent history shows ongoing structural and maintenance attention, with a 2019 complaint about drainage issues and mold, and another regarding gate and window problems in late 2019. The property has also had some fire safety inspections showing either no merit or condition corrections, and a notable routine inspection in 2007. While there are still some active concerns as of 2023 regarding the surrounding area (as evidenced by recent 311 calls), the building itself has not shown the same pattern of violations since 2019, though it remains subject to ongoing monitoring and periodic inspections.

Risk rating

How 48-52 Woodward 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.
