Initial analysis

The property at 101 Elsie Street in Bernal Heights is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by the Hahn Lessard Revocable Family Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including a complete reroofing project in 2024 costing $31,520, and the installation of a tankless water heater with gas line conversion in January 2024. Notably, there are current tree hazard concerns in 2025, with two reports of potentially falling trees being recorded. The property has maintained a focus on modernization and maintenance, with previous improvements including a 2014 solar panel installation (1.53 kW system), electrical upgrades in 2003 for additional living areas, and various bathroom improvements in 2006.

Historical records show attention to structural maintenance, including dry rot repairs on the front stairs completed in 2018, and the replacement of eight windows planned for early 2024 with aluminum-clad wood windows. The building experienced one housing complaint in 2001 regarding unpermitted dormer renovations, though this complaint is noted as not being active. Recent municipal service calls primarily relate to parking issues and street cleaning matters outside the building, with several cases of sidewalk parking and garbage disposal being addressed between October 2024 and January 2025. The property has gone through typical urban maintenance and compliance processes over the years, with most improvements focusing on safety, sustainability (through solar installation), and structural integrity.

Risk rating

How 101 Elsie 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
80th percentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 255 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.

Building age

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

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 79.0%
Moderate concern 16.0%
Severe concern 5.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
