Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building located at 41-43 Oakwood St in the Mission Dolores neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1917, currently owned by Douglas L Chin. The property has undergone several significant improvements since the mid-1980s, including a complete bathroom remodel and water heater installation in 1986, conversion of an existing street-level in-law unit in 1985, and the installation of two roof-mounted solar PV systems in 2007. More recent structural improvements were made in 1998 with the addition of drywall and plywood siding to the building's exterior walls. The property has experienced some infrastructure issues over its history, with termite damage to the garage requiring repair in 1987.

In the last few years, the building's immediate vicinity has faced recurring issues with illegal parking, particularly regarding driveway blocking, with multiple citations issued between 2021 and 2024. The neighborhood has also experienced several tree-related incidents recently, including a fallen tree in October 2023 and another tree removal case in November 2023. While these maintenance issues occurred outside the property boundaries, they may impact resident convenience and accessibility. Historical permits show various improvements to the building's living spaces and infrastructure, suggesting ongoing general maintenance and enhancements to the property over the decades.

Risk rating

How 41-43 Oakwood 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
84th percentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 128 are predicted to be safer.
