Initial analysis

The two-story, multi-family residential building at 39-41 Dearborn Street in Mission Dolores, owned by Carlton & June Johnson Family, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1906. The most substantial recent renovation occurred in 2014-2015, when approximately $120,000 was invested in major modifications including basement conversions to habitable space, hydronic radiant heating installation, and ground floor bay window extension. The building has seen consistent maintenance and upgrades over the years, with previous projects including a complete reroofing in 2012 ($16,000), kitchen and bathroom remodels in 1992, solar panel installation in 2002 ($12,500), and various plumbing and electrical improvements. Notable infrastructure work includes sewer line replacement and bathroom legalizations in 2011, and comprehensive plumbing updates in 2014 including bathroom additions, radiant heating systems, and electrical work including a new 60-amp sub-panel installation.

The property has experienced several quality of life challenges in the immediate vicinity, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in recent years, particularly between 2022 and 2024. These reports primarily concerned street maintenance issues such as garbage, debris, and waste, though most cases were either resolved or had no findings upon inspection. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, with no recorded safety violations or serious infrastructure issues. The property's recent history suggests active management with periodic substantial improvements, while the surrounding area has faced typical urban maintenance challenges that are being addressed through regular city services.

Risk rating

How 39-41 Dearborn 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
77th percentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 184 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 (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 49.8%
Moderate concern 14.5%
Severe concern 35.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
