Initial analysis

The property at 37-39 Naylor Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Croker Amazon neighborhood. Built in 1915, the building has undergone several significant renovations and administrative actions over the past 25 years. The most recent major improvements include a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2019 (costing $40,000) followed by electrical and plumbing upgrades in 2020, including bathroom improvements, lighting installation, and laundry relocation. The building underwent an important administrative change in 2017 when a permit was issued to officially establish its two-family dwelling status and correct its records, following a previous (and cancelled) attempt in 2016. Historical maintenance work includes window replacements in 1997 and 2002, and the removal of a wooden utility ladder in 2009 (completed in response to a violation).

Recent issues have emerged at the property, particularly in late 2024, with multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris on the property, including a sewage backup incident in December 2024. There is currently one open case regarding an overgrown tree blocking the sidewalk (opened December 2024). The building has a history of maintenance attention, with various improvements focusing on modernizing its amenities and maintaining basic safety standards. The most significant historical compliance issue was the wooden utility ladder leading to the roof, which was addressed promptly in 2009. While the building has received regular maintenance and updates, the recent cluster of waste management and sanitation issues in late 2024 may indicate emerging challenges in property upkeep or waste management practices.

Risk rating

How 37-39 Naylor 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.
