Initial analysis

74 Henry Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Duboce Triangle neighborhood, constructed in 1904 and currently owned by David H. Jacobs. The property has an extensive history of permitted modifications, with records showing various structural and maintenance work from 1988 through 2007, including significant interior work in 1992 involving lath and plaster repairs and drop ceiling removal, stair modifications in 1990, and more recent systems upgrades including a forced air gas furnace replacement in 2007. Between 1988 and 1999, multiple permits were issued for various structural and safety improvements, including stair extensions and new footings, though many of these permits eventually expired without completion.

The most recent significant development was an approved permit to construct a 4-story rear addition with a fourth-floor deck, which sought an exception from the rear yard requirements of Section 134 in the RH-3 District. In terms of recent incidents, the property has experienced recurring parking enforcement issues, with multiple reports of illegal parking, sidewalk blocking, and driveway blocking between 2022 and 2024. Additionally, there were three instances of offensive graffiti reported in early 2024 and one in December 2022, though these incidents were marked as resolved. The building's maintenance and improvement history suggests regular upkeep and modification efforts, though some permits from the 1990s appear to have lapsed without recorded completion.

Risk rating

How 74 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
69th percentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 89 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 75.4%
Moderate concern 16.0%
Severe concern 8.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
