Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 44 Patton Street in Bernal Heights is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1907, currently owned by Javier Giron. The most recent significant work on the property is a reroofing project valued at $10,500, permitted in September 2024. The building has a notable history of unauthorized modifications and regulatory challenges, particularly in 2008 when multiple violations were recorded regarding an illegal ground floor unit constructed at the garage level, including a bedroom, full bath, and kitchen with gas range. This situation led to multiple Notices of Violation and abatement proceedings, though these violations were eventually closed in May 2008. The property also faced plumbing and electrical compliance issues in January 2008, which were addressed through properly pulled permits for repairs to bathroom plumbing, electrical work, and water-damaged siding.

Earlier concerns from 1998-2001 documented various maintenance issues including heating problems, electrical concerns, water intrusion, and plumbing difficulties. More recent concerns, particularly in 2023-2024, have primarily centered around parking enforcement matters near the property, with several citations issued for sidewalk parking violations. The most recent building permit activity suggests ongoing property maintenance, with the roofing project being the latest improvement. While the building had significant compliance issues in the past, these appear to have been addressed through proper permitting and repairs, though the age of the building suggests ongoing maintenance requirements are to be expected.

Risk rating

How 44 Patton 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, 625 are predicted to be safer.
