Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3901-3903 19th Street, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, was constructed in 1930 and is currently owned by Frw Holdings LLC. The property's maintenance record shows regular upkeep over the years, with significant work performed on the back wooden stairs in 2010 to address dry rot issues in posts and steps, costing $2,500. Earlier maintenance included a complete reroofing in 2007 ($12,970) and several structural modifications in 1990, including excavation work and wall repairs. The building underwent interior improvements in 1996 with the construction of partition walls and the installation of a handicap-accessible door.

The most pressing recent concerns involve multiple instances of garbage and debris issues in the vicinity of the property during December 2024, with several reports of human waste or urine on the street and sidewalk, though most were closed due to insufficient information. There were also two instances of graffiti targeting fire police call boxes in November 2024, which were resolved. Historical records show the building has experienced some exterior maintenance challenges, including water damage repairs and various construction projects in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The property has not been involved in any significant fire incidents that resulted in civilian injuries, though there was one recorded outside rubbish fire and a good intent call with no noted injuries.

Risk rating

How 3901-3903 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
