Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 39-41 Woodward Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Bolbolan Inc, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1987. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance events, most notably a series of electrical and plumbing issues in 2008 that resulted in multiple violations and complaints regarding unauthorized installations of laundry facilities, electrical wiring, and safety concerns such as missing smoke detectors and inadequate lighting in common areas. These violations were ultimately abated by September 2008, and subsequent improvements included a 2017 reroofing project costing $7,800. More recent safety concerns have emerged, including a 2023 fire alarm system violation which was issued and corrected in September 2023.

The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to infrastructure, with records indicating the addition of a bathroom in 1987 and various electrical upgrades, including a 2008 conversion to a three-meter system and improvements to common area metering. While the property had several violations related to safety systems in 2019 (sprinkler/standpipe systems, electrical systems, and alarm systems), these were promptly corrected. The building has experienced recurring issues with unauthorized modifications and safety compliance, particularly during 2008, when multiple violations were documented regarding unpermitted plumbing and electrical work, as well as fire safety concerns. The property has also been subject to various 311 calls primarily related to parking enforcement and occasional noise complaints, with records from 2020-2024 showing multiple citations for vehicles blocking driveways and unauthorized parking on sidewalks.

Risk rating

How 39-41 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.
