Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 28-30 Valparaiso Street in Russian Hill, built in 1925, is a two-story flats and duplex structure currently owned by Peach Revoc Tr. The building's maintenance history shows a few significant renovation efforts, including bathroom and kitchen remodeling with new aluminum windows in 1987, and in 1993, work was completed to repair building paper between studding and remove a partition wall. More recently, in early 2021, there was a building inspection request regarding roof enclosures at this and an adjacent property, though this complaint was marked as not active by May 2021.

The property has experienced recurring issues with illegal parking in the vicinity, with six documented incidents between 2019 and 2023, all resulting in citations or enforcement actions by parking authorities. A sewer-related issue was reported and resolved in March 2020 concerning a side sewer vent odor, and there was one instance of loose garbage near the property that was addressed by Recology in October 2014. The building's permit and complaint history suggests routine maintenance and occasional modifications typical for its age, with no recorded major structural or safety violations in recent years.

Risk rating

How 28-30 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.
