Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 37-39 Henry Street in San Francisco's Duboce Triangle neighborhood is a 1923 two-story structure classified as Flats & Duplex. The property underwent significant improvements in the early 2000s, including the construction of a master suite at the back of the ground floor in 2002 (valued at $25,000), along with an electrical upgrade completed in early 2003 that expanded the service from 100A to 200A and added new bedroom features. Earlier maintenance work included reroofing in 1991 and kitchen renovations in 1992. Of note is a building complaint from January 2003 regarding unauthorized construction in the garage, though this issue was quickly addressed within three days.

More recently, the property has experienced several parking-related issues, with multiple complaints about sidewalk parking between 2022-2024, though enforcement officers were generally unable to locate the offending vehicles. The building's surrounding area has dealt with some maintenance matters, including fallen trees and debris issues in 2024, though these were addressed promptly. There was an attempted planning application to add an additional dwelling unit without required parking in 2019, which was disapproved, maintaining the current two-unit status of the property. The most recent building-related interaction was a rent board inquiry in December 2024, which was resolved without requiring a callback. The property has maintained compliance with major building codes and requirements since its last significant renovation in the early 2000s, with no recent building code violations or safety concerns on record.

Risk rating

How 37-39 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
