Initial analysis

The property at 3187-3189 19th Street is a two-story, five-unit mixed-use building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, built in 1906 and currently owned by Ella Tkach. Recent building maintenance includes a complete sewer replacement in February 2024, wood siding and window/door replacement in 2019, and multiple interior renovations in 2018 including kitchen and bathroom updates. The building has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, most notably a significant cluster of housing code violations filed in August 2024 related to water damage, mold, and lead hazards, though these were officially abated by September 27, 2024. There have been previous maintenance concerns including a heat outage complaint in December 2022 and documented water leakage issues in both 1996 and 2024. Two fire code violations were issued in 2019 and 2020, though these were presumably resolved. The property has undergone various infrastructure improvements over the years, including roofing work in 2016 and 2003, stair repairs in 2004, and security enhancements such as ladder removal in 2015 following a complaint.

The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to structural and safety requirements, with most permits showing proper completion. Recent 311 calls from December 2024 through January 2025 have primarily involved street cleaning matters, including reports of garbage and debris, most of which were resolved. A tenant buyout occurred in 2016 for one tenant at 2305 Folsom Street with a payment of $25,000. The property has also undergone various cosmetic improvements, such as siding replacement and window upgrades, suggesting ongoing investment in building maintenance.

Risk rating

How 3187-3189 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.
