Initial analysis

240 Cumberland Street, known as Dolores Park Terraces, is a 30-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1956 in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The property has undergone extensive renovations in recent years, with significant unit upgrades occurring throughout 2020-2021, including kitchen and bathroom rehabilitations and washer/dryer installations in multiple units (202, 209, 210, 304, 310). Major building systems improvements include hydronic boiler replacements in 2016, hot water boiler replacement in 2015, and electrical system upgrades including EV charging infrastructure in 2017.

The building has experienced several maintenance and safety concerns in recent years, with the most recent issues involving a November 2023 violation related to sleeping area requirements. Previous significant concerns include a November 2022 complaint about a potentially unsafe concrete deck and inadequate railing safety, along with September 2022 violations for water damage and floor covering issues. Historical violations from 2005 included problems with stairs, fire escape ladders, and the central alarm system, though these were subsequently abated. The property has maintained an active renovation schedule, with recent work focusing on modernizing individual units and improving building systems, though some maintenance issues persist. Regular housing inspections have been conducted, and while most violations have been addressed, as of November 2023, there remains an open violation regarding sleeping area requirements.

Risk rating

How 240 Cumberland 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, 1252 are predicted to be safer.
