AI summary

The four-unit apartment building at 841-849 Church Street, owned by Moss/findling Revoc Trust, was constructed in 1900 and is classified as a 4-story multi-family residential building. The property has undergone significant renovations and maintenance over the past decade, with the most recent major work being a $34,900 reroofing project completed in 2021. Between 2013-2015, substantial improvements were made to the building, including a 4th floor renovation ($198,000), dormer addition, and comprehensive electrical upgrades including a 400-amp service installation and rewiring of the top floor. The building has received proper maintenance attention, with various systems upgraded including plumbing, electrical, and HVAC, though some earlier permits from 2011 did expire without completion.

The only historical violations on record were from December 2000, when the building was cited for several safety concerns regarding gas meter instructions, shutoff tools, and fireproofing materials; however, all these violations were promptly abated by January 2001. Recent activity suggests ongoing urban challenges in the area, with multiple 311 calls throughout 2023-2024 related to sidewalk graffiti, water leaks, illegal postings, and parking issues, though these are typical urban maintenance matters and not directly related to building safety or habitability. The most recent building inspections appear to have been routine in nature, with no documented violations or complaints since 2008, indicating effective property management and maintenance practices in recent years.

Risk rating

How 841-849 Church 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, 498 are predicted to be safer.

Number of units

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

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast

Moderate concern 26.3%
Severe concern 18.9%
