Initial analysis

790-792 Bay Street is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1913, currently owned by Shuksan Capital LLC. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with particular focus on seismic safety and unit upgrades. Most notably, a voluntary seismic retrofit was completed in 2015 at a cost of $100,000, followed by an administrative permit in 2021 to clarify its compliance with AB-094 requirements. In 2020, the building underwent a substantial conversion project to transform an existing commercial space into an accessory dwelling unit, including a significant $145,000 upgrade to the ground floor ceiling assembly and the addition of two new windows.

The building has received regular maintenance and upgrades, including plumbing improvements such as the replacement of main water services in 2009, electrical system updates including service relocation in 2017, and various unit renovations in 2013 affecting laundry facilities, bathrooms, and kitchen. A complete reroofing was performed in 2005. The property has maintained compliance with housing inspections, with routine inspections in 2000, 2004, and 2006 showing no active violations. While there have been several 311 calls regarding street-related issues in the vicinity between 2023 and 2024, these were primarily related to graffiti, illegal postings, and debris on public property rather than building-specific concerns. The most recent building permits and improvements reflect ongoing commitment to maintaining and upgrading the property, with particular attention to safety and habitability requirements.

Risk rating

How 790-792 Bay 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
