Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1039-1043 York Street in the Inner Mission, constructed in 1900, has undergone several significant improvements and faced some regulatory challenges over the years. Most recently, in 2021, the building received a new roof at a cost of $13,000. Between 2017 and 2019, substantial renovations were completed including a comprehensive apartment remodel that involved updating electrical, plumbing, sheetrock, and finishes to address a building complaint, and the installation of new windows on the front facade. The property has a documented history of building code enforcement actions, with three major inspection cycles noted: a routine 2003 inspection that identified multiple violations including the need for building permits and fire safety compliance, and a 2009 routine inspection addressing garage ventilation and safety concerns. A 2017 complaint about construction noise in a common area was also recorded, though many of these issues were subsequently resolved and the violations marked as abated.

Recent maintenance of the property has focused on essential systems and aesthetics, with the 2019 window replacement completed by fPKM Builders, Inc. The building's infrastructure has received attention through various permits, including electrical rewiring and plumbing updates. The property has experienced recurring issues with street cleanliness visible through multiple 311 calls, particularly between 2022 and 2024, though these appear to be related to public space rather than building-specific concerns. While historical violations and complaints suggest past compliance challenges, the most recent permits and improvements indicate ongoing maintenance and upgrading of the property. The building's age and history suggest it has undergone typical residential evolution, from facing enforcement actions to completing modernization projects and addressing safety requirements.

Risk rating

How 1039-1043 York 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
