Initial analysis

The three-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 137-141 Duboce Avenue, owned by the Padilla Family Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1907 and has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most notably, the building faced multiple lead paint hazard violations in 2018, resulting in orders for the removal of paint chips, weatherproofing of exterior siding, and installation of proper signage, all of which were officially abated by December 2018. The property is classified as a Tier 3 soft-story building, with related seismic work completed and a Certificate of Final Completion issued, though there was a previous complaint about unfinished work in 2017.

Recent maintenance improvements include electrical upgrades in 2018 with the installation of lighting on fire escapes, rear porch stairs, and public hallways, as well as structural modifications to reconfigure seismic shear walls. The building's exterior maintenance history shows attention to safety concerns, including the replacement of steps and landing in 2018 to comply with safety orders. More recent years have seen routine inspections and general street cleaning issues documented through 311 calls, as well as two fire safety complaints regarding blocked exits in 2022 and 2023, which were found to have no merit. The property has maintained active responses to most violations and routine inspections, with recent street space permits issued in 2018-2019 suggesting ongoing attention to public space maintenance matters. While there have been multiple complaints and violations over the years, the majority appear to have been addressed through proper channels, with some issues evolving into routine maintenance matters rather than persistent safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 137-141 Duboce Ave'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.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 38.0%
Moderate concern 26.9%
Severe concern 35.1%
