AI summary

The 9-unit multi-family residential building at 810-822 Vallejo Street in North Beach, owned by the Lee Quon Yin Family Trust, has a significant history of maintenance and compliance issues, particularly regarding its sewer infrastructure and seismic safety. Built in 1908, this three-story apartment building has undergone various important structural upgrades, including a completed soft-story retrofit in 2017 costing $110,000, and more recently, a revision in 2020 to upgrade the masonry retaining wall. The building has experienced recurring sewer problems, documented through multiple plumbing complaints between 2009 and 2014, with the most recent plumbing work in 2022 involving the replacement of the main domestic line. In 2018, there was an attempt to convert storage space in the basement into two ADU units under San Francisco's ADU ordinance, but this permit was ultimately cancelled.

Most concerning is the building's recent history of fire safety violations, with citations issued in August 2024 regarding sprinkler systems, building contact information, signs/address numbers, and contact posting requirements. These violations, along with the documented fire safety violations from 2005 and 2010 (including stair repairs and fire extinguisher requirements), highlight ongoing concerns about the building's safety systems. The property has also had periodic issues with garbage management, as evidenced by multiple recent 311 calls in 2023 regarding loose garbage and toters being left out. While the building has made some progress in terms of seismic retrofitting and infrastructure upgrades, including a potassium water heater installation in 2019 and various plumbing repairs, the combination of recent fire safety violations and historical sewer problems suggests that building systems continue to require regular attention and maintenance.

Risk rating

How 810-822 Vallejo 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
9th percentile

Out of 362 buildings in this neighborhood, 329 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 17.8%
Moderate concern 33.1%
Severe concern 49.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
