Initial analysis

The Werner Family Trust owns this two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located at 200 Ellsworth Street in Bernal Heights, San Francisco. Built in 1909 and originally classified as a flats & duplex structure, the property has undergone several significant improvements and repairs over the past two decades. Most notably, in 2023-2024, the building underwent substantial renovations including an ADU conversion for the lower unit (200A) with comprehensive interior remodeling, new HVAC installation, electrical upgrades, and plumbing work. The property experienced a fire incident in 2021 that damaged the garage area, requiring repairs to structural framing, foundation, and finishes, which have since been completed. Earlier maintenance included termite repairs in 2020, window replacements in 2010, and roofing work in 2009.

The building has a documented complaint history from 1996 regarding low ceiling height, lack of heat, missing fire extinguishers, and toilet leaks, though these issues were abated. Recent activity near the property has primarily involved street maintenance, with several 311 calls in 2024 related to garbage, debris, and sidewalk conditions, including reports of tree root lift. The property's recent improvements (2023-2024) suggest significant investment in modernization and safety upgrades, including electrical panel upgrades, rewiring, and foundation work. While historical maintenance issues are documented, most recent permits indicate systematic addressing of structural and systems improvements. The building's current condition appears stable, with recent permits completing major infrastructure upgrades and interior improvements across both units.

Risk rating

How 200 Ellsworth 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
