Initial analysis

This two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located at 2239 15th Street in San Francisco's Duboce Triangle neighborhood was built in 1905 and is currently owned by the Elizabeth F Doerr Living Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, most notably a series of bathroom renovations between 2015-2017, including the installation of new fixtures, tiles, and associated plumbing and electrical work, with the most recent bathroom work completed in June 2017 at a cost of $15,000. Other substantial improvements include a sewer lateral replacement in 2022, reroofing projects completed in 2013 and 1992, and deck repairs addressing dry rot issues in 2010 and 2001. The building has also undergone some structural modifications in the 1990s, including soft demolition work in 1994 and alterations to the front entry stairs and unit configuration.

The property has had regular maintenance performed, including various plumbing and electrical upgrades, though some permits have expired without completion reports, such as the 2015 bathroom plumbing permit (PP20150407506) and the 2001 deck repair permit. Recent activity around the property (2023-2024) has primarily consisted of routine urban maintenance issues such as garbage and debris removal, parking enforcement matters, and one graffiti incident on the street near the building. A building inspection request in January 2024 was resolved with no further action required. The most recent maintenance issue recorded is a missing side sewer vent cover reported in September 2022, which remains open as of the latest data.

Risk rating

How 2239 15Th 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
79th percentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 60 are predicted to be safer.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
