Initial analysis

147 Precita Avenue is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in Bernal Heights, constructed in 1906 and owned by Taleb Nadim and Moufarrege Jo. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with major renovations occurring in 2015 including a comprehensive upper unit remodel (kitchen, walls, bathroom), rear stair and porch modifications, and associated electrical and plumbing work including a furnace replacement. The building's infrastructure has received attention through various maintenance upgrades, including window replacements in 2012, water heater installations in 2019 and 2020, and a main sewer lateral line replacement in 2012. Recent records show no fires or significant safety incidents, though there were two alarm system activations recorded without associated fires or injuries.

The property has been the subject of multiple parking-related complaints in late 2024 and early 2025, with several citations issued for sidewalk parking violations and driveway blockages, though enforcement officers were often unable to locate the vehicles in question. Additionally, there was one report of garbage and debris that required no remedial action. A noteworthy development proposal was submitted under Prop K for the site, seeking to construct 55 units of affordable housing with associated community facilities and parking, though this appears to be in a different context from the current building's use. The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to infrastructure upkeep, with various permits issued for both routine maintenance and larger renovation projects, indicating active property management and investment in maintaining the building's systems and components.

Risk rating

How 147 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
41th percentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 753 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 53.7%
Moderate concern 20.4%
Severe concern 26.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
