Initial analysis

Located in the Duboce Triangle neighborhood, 132-142 Church Street is a 3-story multi-family residential building with 6 units, built in 1900 and owned by St Francis Lutheran Church. The property has undergone significant recent renovations, with multiple major improvements completed between 2024-2025, including unit remodels, chimney removals, kitchen and bathroom renovations, and electrical upgrades totaling over $270,000. These improvements encompass comprehensive updates to multiple units, including kitchen relocations, bathroom remodels, laundry closet additions, and electrical rewiring, with the most recent work completed in September 2024 involving new plumbing fixtures, electrical systems, and HVAC equipment.

The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of proactive upkeep, including the emergency replacement of the fire alarm system in 2020, and earlier installation of a new fire alarm system in 2002. While there were several building violations documented in 2006 related to various issues including interior surfaces, fire safety, and sanitation concerns, these were all abated by 2010. The property has experienced three cooking-related fire incidents, though none resulted in civilian injuries. Recent maintenance issues primarily involve exterior concerns, with multiple 311 calls in late 2024/early 2025 regarding garbage debris, abandoned furniture, and a damaged tree, though these are more indicative of neighborhood conditions rather than building-specific problems. The property has retained its multi-family classification throughout its history, with recent permits focusing primarily on unit-specific improvements rather than building-wide systems.

Risk rating

How 132-142 Church 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

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 81.0%
Moderate concern 8.0%
Severe concern 11.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
