Initial analysis

The property at 235-237 Precita Ave is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located in Bernal Heights, owned by the Aubry Living Trust and constructed in 1908. The building has undergone significant modernization and improvements over the past decade, with major renovations completed in 2015 including the installation of an elevator, reconstruction of an exterior rear exit stair to meet code requirements, and foundation/frame repairs costing $175,000. The property has received comprehensive bathroom remodels in both units, including plumbing and electrical updates, and more recent improvements include the installation of a solar power system (2.6 kW) in 2016 and a new radiant heat system with two boilers.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to both structural and safety improvements, with termite repairs completed in 2014 and various electrical upgrades. A permit complaint was filed in February 2015 regarding unpermitted construction work and fireplace removal, though this complaint is currently listed as "Not Active." Recent activity at the property includes typical urban issues such as parking enforcement matters and a noise complaint in 2023, none of which directly relate to building safety or habitability, though there was one construction-related sidewalk blocking incident in January 2021. The building has experienced one minor incident involving a carbon monoxide detector activation in 2023, which was determined to have no actual CO present, with no civilian injuries reported.

Risk rating

How 235-237 Precita 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

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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 79.5%
Moderate concern 12.2%
Severe concern 8.4%
