Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 240-242 Bosworth St in Bernal Heights, owned by Jensen 1995 Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements since its construction in 1923. Most recently, in 2016, a complete reroofing project was completed at a cost of $21,150. The building's infrastructure improvements include a main sewer line replacement in 2015 and street space and sidewalk repairs in 2014. The building has undergone routine housing inspections in 1996, 1999, 2008, 2011, and 2014, revealing several safety concerns that were subsequently addressed, including the installation of handrails for stairways, water heater elevation requirements, smoke detector installation, and the provision of designated unit identification numbers.

Earlier building improvements include stucco replacement in 1991 and kitchen renovations in 1986. The property has experienced multiple service requests in 2024 primarily related to parking enforcement and debris removal. A single minor cooking-related fire incident occurred, which was contained with no civilian injuries reported. The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to infrastructure upkeep and safety compliance, with all identified violations being promptly addressed and abated. Recent tenant concerns have primarily focused on external issues such as parking and sidewalk maintenance, rather than internal building safety or maintenance problems.

Risk rating

How 240-242 Bosworth 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 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 944 are predicted to be safer.
