Initial analysis

Located in the Duboce Triangle, 136-138 Henry Street is a two-unit, one-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by the Johnston-Morris Family Revocable Trust. The property underwent significant renovations in 2006-2008, including the addition of a 116-square-foot enclosed room, kitchen and bathroom remodels in one unit, front facade repairs due to water damage, and updates to lighting fixtures throughout. Records show comprehensive upgrades during this period, with electrical work including the installation of multiple circuits, switches, and receptacles, as well as plumbing improvements including new furnaces, fixtures, and a fireplace. The building's maintenance history reveals attention to structural integrity, with earlier records from 1985-1989 documenting removal of fungus damage and dry rot repairs.

The property has experienced several recent incidents between 2018-2024, predominantly involving parking issues, including multiple cases of driveway blocking that resulted in citations. Tree maintenance matters were reported in 2018, and there have been some general noise and graffiti issues recorded in 2023-2024, though these appear to be external to the building itself. A fire complaint was filed in January 2017 but was determined to have no merit. The most significant recent work appears to be limited to street-related matters, with sidewalk and street space permits issued in 2008. The most recent building modifications on record date back to 2008, as the property appears to have maintained its updated condition since the substantial renovation work completed in the 2006-2008 period, which included both horizontal and vertical improvements to increase the building's gross square footage from 2,351 to 2,951 square feet as per planning records.

Risk rating

How 136-138 Henry 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
81th percentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 55 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

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

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 83.0%
Moderate concern 11.5%
Severe concern 5.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
