Initial analysis

The three-story, three-unit TIC building at 19-23 Woodward Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood was constructed in 1907 and is currently owned by Sebastian Predescu. The building has undergone several significant infrastructure upgrades over the past decade, with the most critical being a comprehensive fire safety improvement project in 2013-2015 that included the installation of a new fire sprinkler system protecting egress paths and associated water service modifications, completed at a cost of $6,500. The building's water infrastructure was further upgraded in 2015 with the installation of a new combination water meter and service system valued at $2,500. A concerning violation was recorded in 2012 regarding the unreinforced common foundation, which had reportedly developed cracks, gaps, and voids that compromised structural integrity, though this violation was marked as abated in 2014. The building's electrical system received attention in 2016 with the completion of sprinkler system hookups, following earlier upgrades in 2004-2005 that included kitchen and bathroom renovations and main service upgrades.

Recent municipal interactions have primarily involved street-level issues, including general cleaning needs and parking violations, with the most recent concerns being addressed in 2022. There was one documented fire-related incident involving smoke or odor removal, though no civilian injuries were reported. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes since the resolution of its 2012 foundation issue, with no active violations as of the latest review. Regular safety inspections have been conducted, with records showing attention to both building systems and residential unit maintenance. The building's recent permit history indicates a focus on maintaining and upgrading essential systems, particularly fire safety, while older permits from 2004-2015 reflect significant improvements to individual unit amenities and building infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 19-23 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.
