Initial analysis

The property at 2201-2203 19th Street in Potrero Hill is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, containing three units and currently owned by Guaraglia 2002 Family Trust. The building has undergone significant renovations and faced several challenges over the years, most notably an active building violation filed in March 2001, which reported unauthorized unit conversions and serious safety concerns including water damage, structural issues, and inadequate emergency egress. This violation remains unresolved as of the latest available data. Between 2008 and 2011, the property underwent extensive renovations including the installation of new kitchens and bathrooms in all three units, furnace and water heater replacements, and a comprehensive electrical system upgrade that included multiple panels, circuits, and safety features such as smoke detectors. The building was equipped with a fire sprinkler system in 2010-2011, indicating improvements to safety infrastructure.

Recent building improvements include a gas fireplace replacement in 2019, but the property has also experienced various maintenance issues as documented in historical complaints. A 1997 complaint cited extensive mold and water damage, while the 2001 complaint reported inadequate heating, water infiltration, and other habitability concerns. The most recent tenant buyout recorded was for $50,000 in May 2024 for one tenant at 702 Vermont Street, and there have been multiple street-related service calls near the property between 2015 and 2024, primarily regarding abandoned vehicles and sidewalk cleaning, though these are external to the building's condition. The property's plumbing and electrical systems have received significant attention, with multiple permits showing systematic upgrades and installations, particularly between 2008 and 2011 when major infrastructure improvements were completed.

Risk rating

How 2201-2203 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.
