Initial analysis

The property at 140 Day Street is a two-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, constructed in 1954 and currently owned by Rita F Fontana 1995 Declart. The building has undergone several significant safety improvements in recent years, most notably a $170,000 soft-story retrofit completed in 2019 to enhance seismic safety. Historical records show that the building experienced a serious incident in 1997 when heavy smoke damage occurred due to electrical problems in the owner's unit, rendering the affected unit temporarily uninhabitable. The building has undergone routine maintenance over the years, including reroofing work in 2010 and repair of damaged floor joists in 1997.

The property has faced several safety-related violations, particularly in 2000 and 2010, primarily concerning fire escape maintenance, smoke enclosure requirements, and gas meter safety equipment. All these violations were resolved, with most being abated within a couple of months. More recent inspections have not shown any ongoing violations. The building has also experienced periodic garbage and debris issues, with multiple reports between 2023 and 2024, particularly regarding abandoned items on the property or sidewalk. The most recent tenant buyout records indicate a transaction at the nearby address of 120 Day Street in 2018 involving six tenants and a payment of $30,000. While the property has experienced various maintenance and safety issues over its history, recent years have shown improved compliance with safety regulations, particularly with the significant investment in seismic retrofitting.

Risk rating

How 140 Day 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 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1409 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 59.3%
Moderate concern 22.4%
