Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 65-67 Valparaiso Street in Russian Hill, owned by Helen Lim 2008 Revoc Interv, was constructed in 1907 and has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades. The most substantial renovation occurred in 2003 with the addition of a 4th floor (630 sq.ft) and a complete kitchen remodel costing $150,000. Subsequent improvements included the installation of a fire sprinkler system (2006), HVAC upgrades (2006), and comprehensive electrical work. A potential issue was reported in 2014 regarding an alleged illegal in-law unit (65 1/2) accessed through the garage, though this complaint is marked as not active. A building permit complaint was filed in 2005 regarding possible property encroachment related to the 2003 addition, but this was resolved within a month.

The property has experienced recurring parking issues near the building, with the most recent complaints in 2023 about vehicles blocking driveways and sidewalks, though these are typical urban challenges rather than building-specific concerns. Between 2020 and 2023, there have been several street cleaning and sidewalk blockage issues documented through 311 calls, primarily involving cafe furniture and loose garbage, which were all resolved by the Department of Public Works. While the building's renovation history shows substantial investment in safety features like the fire sprinkler system and HVAC improvements, it's worth noting that several building permits were allowed to expire without record of completion verification.

Risk rating

How 65-67 Valparaiso 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
74th percentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 295 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 64.8%
Moderate concern 20.0%
Severe concern 15.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
