Initial analysis

This two-story multi-family residential building at 37 Landers Street in Mission Dolores, owned by Joseph Festinese Bypass Tru, was constructed in 1990 and contains three units. The property has undergone several significant maintenance updates in recent years, including a $16,000 reroofing project in 2022 and most recently, the installation of a new 40-gallon ultra-low natural gas water heater in May 2024, indicating ongoing investment in building infrastructure. The building experienced multiple safety compliance issues in 2001 during a routine inspection, primarily related to fire safety systems, including problems with fire escape ladders, smoke enclosure doors, sprinkler systems, and fire extinguisher maintenance; however, all these violations were abated by June 2001.

The property's history shows various permit activities, including unsuccessful attempts to modify the unit configuration in the 1990s - notably, a canceled 1994 permit attempt to legalize a fourth unit and expired permits in 1997-1998 to remove kitchen components. More positively, the building has maintained regular water heater maintenance, with replacements documented in both 2013 and most recently in 2024 for unit #2 and the common area. Recent parking enforcement activity around the building has been notable, with multiple citations issued between 2023 and 2024 for vehicles blocking the driveway, though many of these resulted in officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles. While the building had some significant fire safety issues in 2001, all violations were resolved, and there have been no reported fire safety violations in the past 22 years, suggesting improved compliance with safety standards.

Risk rating

How 37 Landers 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
73th percentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 216 are predicted to be safer.
