Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 3969 19th Street, owned by Wong Family Trust, was constructed in 1961 in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The building's maintenance record shows minimal major interventions, with only two building permits on file: a reroofing project completed in 1995 and a street space permit issued in 2008. The property has undergone two routine apartment house inspections by Housing Inspection Services, one in 2001 and another in 2008, both of which were completed without any noted ongoing concerns.

Recent municipal service calls between 2023 and 2024 indicate several infrastructure and maintenance issues in the immediate vicinity of the property, though few directly related to the building itself. These include ongoing concerns about lifted sidewalk sections due to tree roots (open case as of January 2023), a recently reported burnt-out street light (December 2024), and several tree-related incidents including damage and fallen trees (resolved cases in 2023). Parking and street cleaning issues have been addressed promptly, including a resolved case of a driveway blocking vehicle in April 2024. The only recorded fire incident was a false alarm activation with no injuries or actual fire. While the building has generally maintained a stable physical condition over the years, the recent concentration of tree-related infrastructure issues in the surrounding area is notable, though these appear to be primarily municipal rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 3969 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
48th percentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 665 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 55.4%
Moderate concern 20.0%
Severe concern 24.7%
