Initial analysis

The property at 37 Kingston Street in Bernal Heights is a 2-story, multi-family residential building with 3 units and a retail space, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Eric Richard Holub. The building has experienced significant maintenance and vacancy issues in recent years, with active complaints regarding vacant building status filed in 2024, and a history of violations related to the Vacant or Abandoned Building Ordinance dating back to 2015. Multiple renovation projects have been undertaken, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in 2019 (costing $25,000), and substantial repairs to the rear porch and facade between 2012-2016 addressing dry rot, broken windows, and other maintenance issues. The property has faced several compliance challenges, including violations for peeling paint, broken windows, and exposed structural elements, with enforcement action taking place under the San Francisco Building Code.

Recent maintenance activities include multiple bathroom and kitchen remodels, including plumbing upgrades such as new drain systems, water heater replacements, and supply line improvements. The building has experienced recurring issues with graffiti, street debris, and parking concerns in the vicinity, as documented through 311 calls, though these are primarily external to the building itself. The property has undergone various permitting processes, including sidewalk and street space repairs, and multiple renewals and revisions of existing permits to complete necessary repairs. While several building violations have been marked as not active or resolved, there remain outstanding compliance issues as evidenced by recent complaints about vacant building status, which typically trigger monthly monitoring fees under city ordinance.

Risk rating

How 37 Kingston 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.
