Initial analysis

The 6-unit multi-family residential building at 832-836 Vallejo Street in North Beach, owned by Mok Nursery Inc., has experienced several significant events since its construction in 1907. Most notably, there is an active violation from January 2018 regarding the unauthorized creation of a 7th dwelling unit on the ground floor, which was inspected and found to have multiple building code concerns, including unapproved construction, plumbing, electrical work, and safety system deficiencies. The building has undergone multiple roof replacements, with the most recent reroofing project issued in October 2022 costing $21,600. There have been several plumbing improvements in recent years, including washer/dryer installations and water heater repairs in 2020-2021, though these were accompanied by complaints about recurring issues. Historical records show authorization for two additional dwelling units at ground level in 1989, followed by various structural modifications including garage door replacements in the late 1980s.

The property has a documented history of maintenance and safety concerns, including a 2018 complaint about active construction without permits, a 2017 report of mold and heating issues, and a 2010 sewage leak investigation. Fire safety violations were noted in 2015 regarding fire extinguisher requirements, and there have been various housing code compliance issues over the years. The most recent tenant buyout on record was for $45,000 in October 2018. The building's maintenance history shows regular roof maintenance and some plumbing improvements, but the outstanding violation regarding the unauthorized unit and associated safety concerns remains the most significant issue affecting the property. Recent permits indicate ongoing maintenance work, including the 2022 reroofing project, suggesting some level of active property management.

Risk rating

How 832-836 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.
