Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story apartment building at 338 Alemany Blvd in Bernal Heights, owned by the Hernandez Nanon Family Trust, was constructed in 1964 and has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over its history. Most notably, in 2019, the building faced multiple housing code violations, including water damage, structural maintenance concerns, mold issues, and problems with smoke detection systems, though all these violations were abated by March 2019. The building has a history of water-related problems, with documented leaks and moisture issues particularly affecting Unit #2, and required roof repairs and stucco work in 2012 with a cost of $4,000. Earlier history shows the building underwent efforts to address unauthorized modifications, including a 1992 project to remove illegal units from the garage area and a 1990 permit to remove non-conforming storage sheds at the garage.

The property has had recurring issues with occupancy compliance, particularly in 2006 when multiple complaints were filed regarding overcrowding in units, though these were eventually resolved. There have been regular maintenance updates, including a roof repair and waterproofing project in 2012. Recent records from 2023 and 2024 indicate ongoing concerns about driveway access and parking violations, with multiple citations issued for vehicles blocking the driveway. A pavement defect near the property has been reported as an open issue since June 2024. The building's history suggests periodic attention is required to maintain both structural integrity and compliance with housing codes, particularly regarding moisture control and occupancy limits.

Risk rating

How 338 Alemany Blvd'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.
