Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 49 Bache Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Elena R Felder, has a documented history spanning over three decades. Built in 1911, the property has undergone several significant improvements and faced some challenges. Notable recent upgrades include the installation of 8 solar panels in 2017 (completed) and the replacement of the main sewer line in 2007 (completed). The building experienced fire damage in 1994, requiring repair work, and has had various maintenance projects, including reroofing in 2001 and rebuilding a wooden parapet wall in 1987.

The property has faced some regulatory scrutiny, including a 1996 complaint about an unauthorized plumbing business operating from the residence, which was resolved by 1998. In the mid-1990s, the owners completed work to legalize a half bathroom following compliance requirements. The building's maintenance record shows attention to infrastructure improvements, though the most recent building permit activity dates back several years. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban issues as evidenced by recent 311 calls, including reports of debris, parking violations, and tree damage, though these appear to be street-related matters rather than direct building management concerns. The most recent building-related service request was for a general service in May 2024, which was inspected with no work needed, and there is an open tree damage case from the same month.

Risk rating

How 49 Bache 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, 664 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 69.4%
Moderate concern 18.7%
Severe concern 11.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
