Initial analysis

The property at 139-141 Paris Street in the Excelsior neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Ronald Courville and Montoya. The building underwent significant renovations in 2007, including a $160,000 horizontal addition of family rooms and bathrooms, though this permit subsequently expired without final inspection, leading to a violation notice in March 2009. The property has seen various plumbing and electrical upgrades, particularly in 2019, including final inspections, drain installations, and bathroom work. Multiple permits from 2008 show systematic improvements including the installation of new bathrooms, shower facilities, and electrical systems, though many of these permits expired and required follow-up inspections.

The building's maintenance history reveals several concerning issues in 2004, including plumbing problems (leaky sinks and drains), bathroom deficiencies, exposed floor surfaces, and signs of possible mold or mildew - all of which were reportedly abated by September 2004. More recent history shows recurring issues with garbage and debris in the vicinity, particularly during 2024, with multiple reports of waste accumulation requiring municipal intervention. Notably, there was one tenant buyout recorded in June 2019 for $30,000. The property has experienced some enforcement actions, including a complaint in 2006 regarding an allegedly illegal basement unit, though many of these past complaints are no longer active. Recent activity in 2024 has primarily consisted of parking enforcement requests and street cleaning matters. The building's permit history shows a pattern of substantial upgrades and improvements, though often requiring multiple follow-up inspections to achieve proper closure.

Risk rating

How 139-141 Paris 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.
