Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 636 14th Street in Mission Dolores, constructed in 1990, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in its recent history. Most concerning is a current mold situation reported in early February 2024, where tenants have documented health issues including sinus problems, skin rashes, and prolonged colds potentially related to water damage from a leaking kitchen sink. The tenants reported discovering black mold that had allegedly spread due to delayed professional cleaning and inspection following their February 16th request. The building has undergone several maintenance works over the years, including three roof replacements, with the most recent completed in 2012 costing $17,500. Several historical permits indicate modifications including a horizontal addition in 1994 and installation of sinks in individual rooms in 1989.

Recent municipal interactions show multiple reports of garbage and debris on the property, with numerous closures indicating resolved issues between June and December 2024. There are also two open noise complaints filed in June 2024. The building's planning history reveals past considerations for conversion of second-story units to commercial use, though these proposals appear to have been closed. The property has experienced some regulatory scrutiny in the past, with complaints filed in 1995 and 1996 regarding unauthorized units and commercial use, both of which were resolved. While the building has maintained basic compliance through various permits and inspections, the recent mold incident represents the most significant health and safety concern on record.

Risk rating

How 636 14Th 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 400 are predicted to be safer.
