Initial analysis

The three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 3830 19th Street in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, owned by Brian White and Tue Vansiy, was constructed in 1913 and has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the years. Most recently, in 2020, the building received a complete re-roofing with a $16,000 investment in a 3-ply modified bitumen system, following a previous roofing project in 2005 costing $10,460. The property has also seen important infrastructure improvements, including plumbing work in 2011 involving the replacement of 20 feet of 4-inch lateral pipe in the crawlspace and a 3-inch floor drain in the lightwell, and the replacement of the house trap in 2009. A substantial set of building violations was recorded in 2002, including issues with lead paint hazards, fire safety concerns, and building code compliance matters, though these were all officially abated by 2007 following the completion of necessary repairs and improvements.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to both safety and structural integrity, with the rear exterior egress stairs replaced in 2014 at a cost of $20,000. More recent service calls to the property have primarily involved external issues such as graffiti removal, street cleaning, and parking enforcement, with the most recent 311 call in November 2023 regarding scooter placement. While there was a temporary water-related issue noted in a 2010 complaint that was resolved within a month, and some plumbing work completed in 2009, there have been no recent internal infrastructure problems reported. The building's age and history suggest regular maintenance is being performed, with significant investments in both the roof and infrastructure systems over the last two decades.

Risk rating

How 3830 19Th 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

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 933 are predicted to be safer.
