Initial analysis

The property at 140-142 Winfield Street is a two-unit residential building located in Bernal Heights, constructed in 1900 and classified as a flats/duplex building. The building underwent significant renovations in 2005-2008, including major improvements to both units with a comprehensive $100,000 project that encompassed new foundations, kitchen and bathroom remodels, drywall work, hardwood flooring installation, and exterior updates including new siding and windows. Electrical systems received substantial upgrades between 2006-2013, featuring complete rewiring of the basement and first floor, installation of a new three-meter service, Ufer grounding, and the addition of a dryer plug. The building's plumbing systems were also improved with the installation of a fireplace in 2007.

Since the major renovations, there have been relatively few maintenance issues, with the most significant being the need for final inspections in 2008. The property has experienced recurring issues with abandoned vehicles in the vicinity, particularly between 2018-2023, with multiple reports of abandoned vehicles that were consistently resolved when authorities arrived. Other recent reports include a park rules violation in September 2023 and two abandoned vehicle reports in May and November 2022. These peripheral incidents have been recurring but do not directly impact the building's condition or resident experience. The property appears to have been well-maintained since its major renovations, with no recorded building code violations or safety concerns in recent years.

Risk rating

How 140-142 Winfield 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
