Initial analysis

The property at 215-219 Church Street, located in the Mission Dolores neighborhood, is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1905 containing three residential units and ground-floor commercial space. This multi-family residential building has undergone several significant renovations over the years, with the most recent major work including water main and sewer line replacements in 2023 and 2021, respectively. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including a reroofing project in 2017 costing $28,900 and substantial interior improvements in 2010 involving kitchen remodeling, bathroom updates, and closet installations valued at $14,000.

The property has experienced several notable incidents, most concerning being a commercial fire-related plumbing issue in 2009 that required repairs to gas lines and installation of new sinks. More recently, in 2022-2023, the building faced compliance issues with the Vacant Commercial Storefront Ordinance, though these were resolved by August 2023. Recent complaints from 2023 regarding late-night construction noise and a 2023 fire extinguisher violation (which was corrected) indicate ongoing monitoring of property maintenance and regulatory compliance. The ground-floor commercial space has a history of vacancy issues, with multiple violations of the vacant storefront ordinance between 2019 and 2022, though recent permits suggest active use. The building's fire safety systems appear to be maintained, with regular fire extinguisher inspections noted in 2019 and 2023, and five false alarms recorded by the fire department, none resulting in injuries or actual fires.

Risk rating

How 215-219 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.
