Initial analysis

The two-unit, 1900-built residential building at 97 Coleridge Street in Bernal Heights is a two-story flats and duplex structure currently owned by Gerard Richard Meade. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the past few decades, with the most recent work occurring in 2017, which involved tile replacement and drywall repairs in the laundry room and bathroom. A notable series of repairs took place in 2008 following various structural issues, including wind damage to the fence and problems with the rear deck, for which permits were issued totaling $500. More substantial repairs were completed in 2006 when all horizontal wood siding on three sides of the building was replaced at a cost of $10,000, and in 2008 when all dry rot in the stairs was addressed with an $8,500 project. A fire incident in 2007 resulted in repairs to the front stairs, though these were completed successfully.

Recent activity around the property has primarily involved external municipal matters, with a number of 311 calls in 2023-2024 related to street cleaning, tree damage, and parking issues. Two significant tree-related incidents were reported, with one fallen tree case in March 2023 and another damaged tree situation in May 2024. The building's rear deck has an approved variance for its L-shaped configuration with screening, which was properly legalized through the city's planning process. Historic records show earlier repairs from 1985 for various structural elements including the rear wall, front stairs, and rear deck. The property has experienced typical urban maintenance issues over the past year, including a graffiti incident in January 2025 and various street cleaning matters, though these do not directly impact the building's structure or resident experience.

Risk rating

How 97 Coleridge 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

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 268 are predicted to be safer.
