Initial analysis

This three-unit multi-family residential building, located at 24 Powers Avenue in Bernal Heights, was constructed in 1961 and is currently owned by Valentine Surviving Spouses. The property is a single-story apartment building, classified under the Apartment category in building records. The most significant recent building improvement occurred in April 2007, when five white vinyl windows were installed at a cost of $3,700, featuring U-value ratings of 38.52, with proper compliance to maintain existing clear opening sizes and avoiding any door modifications.

The building's maintenance and public cleanliness record shows several municipal interactions between 2011 and 2018, though none directly related to the building's internal conditions. These included three street and sidewalk cleaning issues regarding loose garbage (reported in 2011 and 2014) and medical waste (reported in 2017), as well as a parking enforcement matter in 2018 involving a scooter. All these external incidents were resolved through standard municipal procedures, with no documented patterns or recurring issues that would affect resident safety or building integrity.

Risk rating

How 24 Powers 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
