Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1942 Quesada Ave, located in San Francisco's Silver Terrace neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure dating back to 1900 and currently owned by the Nash & Barbara Hamlin Living Trust. The building's maintenance history shows relatively minimal permitted work, with only one significant structural intervention on record: termite repairs carried out in 1996, for which the permit has since expired, and a completed gas houseline extension in March 2023.

The property has experienced several maintenance and regulatory issues in recent years, with the most pressing being a sewage backup incident involving a 4-inch sewer vent in February 2024, which was promptly addressed by PUC Sewer Operations. The building has also faced multiple parking-related challenges between 2024 and 2024, with numerous reports of driveway blocking incidents, particularly involving a red Toyota Celica with the plate 9END546, and other vehicles including a silver Lexus. While parking enforcement responded to these calls, several cases were either unable to be validated or resulted in citations being issued. Additionally, there was one instance of sidewalk graffiti reported in September 2024, though this case was eventually cancelled. A historical fire complaint from May 2011 regarding weeds and grass was resolved on the same day it was reported, indicating prompt attention to property maintenance issues at that time.

Risk rating

How 1942 Quesada Ave'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 71 buildings in this neighborhood, 33 are predicted to be safer.
