Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 137 Winfield Street, located in San Francisco's Bernal Heights neighborhood, is a 1-story multi-family dwelling constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Ann M. Gwynne-Vaughan and Gers. The property has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the past two decades, with the most recent major work completed in 2015 including a comprehensive remodel of the basement stairs, bathroom relocation, partial foundation repairs, and the legalization of an existing family room in the basement, with associated plumbing and electrical updates costing approximately $35,000. This followed earlier foundation repairs in 2001 on both the south side and elsewhere, addressing structural concerns.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to both safety and comfort, with foundation issues being a recurring theme in the early 2000s, and some illegal modifications being properly addressed and corrected. A notable exterior issue from 2007 involving a malfunctioning porch light affecting a neighbor was eventually resolved in 2012. The most recent activities at the property have been relatively minimal, with recent 311 calls primarily relating to parking issues on the street, including several reports of abandoned vehicles and illegal parking between late 2023 and mid-2024. There are also three open pavement defect reports from late 2023 that may affect street access to the property. The building's permit and complaint history suggests an overall pattern of addressing structural issues promptly, particularly in the early 2000s, with less frequent major interventions in recent years.

Risk rating

How 137 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
52th percentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 612 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 71.3%
Moderate concern 21.7%
Severe concern 7.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
